The Blue Vase is my first foray into oil pastels. The painting is done on 6×9 Strathmore drawing paper. Oil pastels I thought would be similar to crayons but their not. They’re much more pliable and colorful. I will continue to play with oil pastels creating more art with the medium in the future. Learning something new in life is like learning something new in art. You have to jump, no be afraid to take chances and above all keep going.
Lovely. I’ve been playing with oil pastel and watercolor. I love the way the oil acts as a resist and the way the watercolor puddles between.

I never thought of trying that. I have some watercolors lying around. I’ll have to try and see how it turns out.
