This very bright array of pastels are Farrel and Gold and I bought them really cheaply from the best place to buy art supplies: The Works.
So without further ado, here are the 5 reasons why I LOVE oil pastels.
1. Improving existing artwork
2. Colour intensity
..need I say any more?
3.Blending colours
4. With watercolour
5. Ease of use
It took me about 20 minutes to cover 2 pages in my sketchbook with a colour explosion. As a finishing touch, I cut these flowers out of a magazine and stuck them on top (as you've probably noticed, a favourite technique of mine).
So, I hope this post has inspired you to have a play with oil pastels or maybe spice up some of your artwork.
Until next time...
