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.
