Discover the vibrant world of oil pastels in this hands-on landscape drawing workshop. Known for their rich pigments and creamy texture, oil pastels are a wonderfully versatile medium that allows artists to create expressive artwork while learning fundamental drawing and coloring techniques.
Throughout the session, you'll explore key artistic concepts including color theory, shading, blending, perspective, composition, texture, and creating depth within a landscape. You'll learn how to build your artwork in layers, use a variety of blending tools, and understand how light, shadow, and color work together to bring a scene to life.
One of the most valuable parts of this workshop is the opportunity to practice these skills immediately. Rather than completing just a single piece, participants may have the chance to create two or three landscape studies, allowing you to apply what you've learned, refine your techniques, and gain confidence as you go. The first landscape often serves as a warm-up and learning experience, while the second gives you the freedom to work with greater ease and intention.
Participants are welcome to work from a shared reference image or choose from a selection of landscape references provided.
Suitable for complete beginners as well as experienced artists looking to strengthen their understanding of color, shading, and blending techniques. You'll leave not only with finished artwork but also with practical skills and confidence you can apply to future creative projects.

At Culture Chauraha, we believe art is not just about making things — it is about creating connection and community. The word “Chauraha” comes from Hindi and refers to a village Choupal, a landmark in Northern India: often under a large tree, in a courtyard, where people gathered to exchange stories, news, ideas, and moments from everyday life. That spirit of community and shared experience sits at the heart of everything we do.
Culture Chauraha was founded in New Delhi in 2015 by artist and educator Smriti Sangal alongside her mother, an art teacher of over 30 years and Smriti’s very first creative influence. Rooted in a family lineage where artistic knowledge passed from grandmother to mother to daughter, our work is deeply connected to heritage, storytelling, and the belief that creativity should be accessible to everyone.
Smriti is a graduate of University of the Arts London, where she earned her MFA before expanding Culture Chauraha’s programming internationally. Since moving to the U.S. in 2023, Smriti has continued building welcoming, beginner-friendly creative spaces across New Jersey and New York through workshops in libraries, community centers, and cultural institutions. Through painting, drawing, printmaking, sculpture and mixed-media workshops, the studio aim to create spaces where people of all ages can slow down, reconnect with creativity, and build meaningful community through art.
At Culture Chauraha, we foster inclusive, process-driven environments where participants are encouraged to experiment, reflect, and grow at their own pace. Our classes and workshops aim not only to build technical skills, but to nurture confidence, curiosity, and joy in creative expression.
