The 47 members of the Yellow House Artists group will present their work in oil pastel, a medium developed in the 1940’s at the request of Pablo Picasso. He wanted a medium with the qualities of oil but with ease of application and portability. This medium allows the colors to be layered and blended, smeared or smudged, using fingers, some type of tool, or left as applied, all at the artist’s discretion.
