Free online lesson on Oil Pastel Drawing - Saturday Art Class excerpts

Last 22 April 2023, we had a face-to-face online class at my Cascade Art Studio in Project 4, Quezon City. The medium we used was oil pastel. This medium is cheaper than oil paint, easier to manage by children, and for art experts, it can be very versatile if we learn how to manage its use.

CASCADE's Saturday Art Classes are affordable classes on art for children and adults. We offer PHP 350 per participant for a two (2) days-2 hours session on Saturdays. I have a regular job and still wish to share my talent in art by holding these art classes at home. Art classes are expensive, not to mention the prices of art materials. But Art Classes can be of big help to individuals to improve their focus and divert unwanted thoughts. It can also be self-expression or a form of mental health exercise.

Today, I am sharing an excerpt from our Saturday Art Classes. We hope you'll get inspired by this, and if you wish to join our Saturday Art Classes, feel free to message me using the links in this blog or at my FB Account: CASCADE Art Studio.


We also encourage you to share your work through the comment box. You may also send a direct message. I will feature your work in our blog.

Dumaguete's Golden Beauty: A Muse for Artistic Inspiration

Step into the world of Dumaguete's mesmerizing beauty, a source of endless inspiration for artists and nature enthusiasts alike. Today, I break from my usual content to share my profound appreciation for the golden hours of Dumaguete, as seen through the lens of an artist's soul. Join me on this visual journey as I explore how this enchanting destination has rekindled my passion for art, all while discovering the awe-inspiring charm within its boundaries.

Captivating Beginnings:
My fortunate profession allows me to traverse the picturesque landscapes of our country through various event travels. These journeys serve as both a reminder and an invitation to delve into the world of art. In December 2022, I was privileged to set foot on the Bay Walk of Dumaguete City, not knowing what to expect. At first glance, the waters appeared unassuming, but the magic of the golden hour unveiled a breathtaking spectacle.


The Magic of Nature's Timekeepers:
Amidst my travels, I've discovered that two moments during the day consistently leave me in a state of wonder. It's the golden hours, both at dawn and dusk, when the world baths in soft, golden hues. These moments possess an ethereal quality that's impossible to ignore.


Art as a Gift:
In my artistic journey, I've understood that you can find the most significant source of inspiration can be found in the natural world. Nature's beauty is a gift in itself, and so is artistic talent. Capturing nature's wonders with the gift of creativity is my way of expressing gratitude to our Creator. These creations are not just art but a glimpse into my heart—a testament to the tranquility and hope they bring to those who behold them.


A Visual Journey:
I've prepared a video that encapsulates the magic of Dumaguete's golden hours to offer a glimpse into my perspective. It will convey what my eyes have been fortunate enough to witness. Please take a moment to enjoy it, and I would love to hear your thoughts.


Dumaguete's golden beauty is an unending wellspring of inspiration and a reminder of the profound artistry in our natural world. I am thankful for the privilege of experiencing its magic, and I hope this journey has ignited your sense of wonder. If you enjoyed the video, please share your thoughts, and thank you for taking this visual voyage with me.
