About:

Lisa Ober, PSA, IAPS/MC, is a portrait and still life painter, workshop teacher, and owner of OA Gallery in St. Louis, MO. When not in her studio painting or busy at the gallery she travels as a workshop instructor, sharing the versatility, beauty, and immediacy of pastel painting. Her contagious enthusiasm for the pastel medium has made her a sought after teacher and mentor, and she considers it her mission to endear artists, collectors, and galleries to pastel.

Ober’s work has appeared in numerous publications including The Pastel Journal, Southwest Art, and American Art Collector. She has enjoyed awards in competitions such as Pastel Journal’s Pastel 100, Bold Brush, and IAPS PastelWorld. Collectors have recognized Ober’s work for its clever content, exquisite realism, and detail. Ober enjoys making pastels “behave” the way she envisions as she endeavors to use the medium in fresh new ways.

Ober is a signature member of Pastel Society of America and a Master Circle member of IAPS. She is actively involved in the arts in the Midwest and serves on the board of Hope Creates, an organization dedicated to improving the lives of young adults in recovery from addiction by connecting through the arts with mentorship and entrepreneurial skill-building. She is also a founding board member of Marketing My Art, an organization dedicated to training artists to be more effective in the selling and marketing of their art. Ober wishes for 48 hours days, but does her best in their absence by painting in her studio until around 4 AM and considers herself blessed beyond measure.

Colour Chart Guidance

We believe the colours in our web based colour chart are a faithful representation of our pastel range. But with any colours portrayed on the internet, there’s a whole heap of variables which mean that what you see, may not be what we see. That said, there’s some things that can be done to mitigate some of the variance.

Mobile phone and tablet screens tend to be pretty good for colour, so they’re always worth using, when viewing our colour chart.

We hate to say it, but cheaper computer displays, including laptops, can be rather hit and miss, in both colour and contrast, so they might not reveal the depth of the colour, as well as the true tone.

If you’re really keen on getting your computer up to speed on colour representation, you can use a calibration device to reach your display's fullest potential.

With all that said, if you think we’re way off the mark with any of the colours then, by all means let us know, and we’ll give it another shot.
