Karol Oakley

Karol Oakley is a Master Pastellist with over 38 years pastel painting experience. She also likes working in oil and mixed media. This Artist paints from life as much as possible and ‘en plein-air, outdoors and exploring new places while painting her response to nature’s showcase. 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 enjoying 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 teaching. A dedicated educator of the pastel medium in Australia and overseas, Karol Oakley is continually invited to teach painting as workshops, demonstrations and travel tours.
