Karol Oakley is a Master Pastellist with over 30 years pastel painting  experience to share. Karol prefers to paint from life and ‘en plein-air’. She  prefers to paint seascapes and landscapes on site. A dedicated educator of  the pastel medium in Australia and overseas, Karol Oakley is continually  invited to teach painting as workshops, demos and travel tours.  This Artist paints from life as much as possible and ‘en plein-air’ in pastel, oil and mixed media. Karol is constantly searching out patterns,  textures, vibrant colours and the light extremes of Mother  Nature’s presence. The majority of Karol’s work is based  on water themes in both the land and seascape. This  doesn’t stop her from exploring other subjects such as still  life, flowers and animal portraits. Karol works on the  premise that there is always more to learn and shares her  enthusiasm for painting through workshops and  demonstrations, when not out exploring new places and  painting her response to natures showcase.  www.oakleyfineart.com www.karoloakley.com  E: oakleyfineart@gmail.com
