This week I tried the Oil Pastels. Actually, couldn't get where to start so just took the colors and sat down and started playing with the colors. So, you may find a smudge here and an extra line there.
As I started layering colors over each other it started to appeared like a flower and I took over to give it that look. Sometimes going with the flow works better. 😊😀
Then one stroke of pastel made way for another and here is the final work.
It is bright and warm and had a happy vibe to it; so I felt like sharing it .
Last week, I had shared a digital painting ( nah! not the right word), work or novice attempt which made me want to try and create more. ... Did try my hands on a few and here is one of them. Thinking of creating journal pages using these in future.
I drew and shaded the stem, branches and the pot and then shaded them layer by layer till I got the desired effect. Don't think will ever remember what each tool or brush does but without losing hope got a result by the ' trial and error' method. 😉
The flowers are stamps which I arranged randomly and selected a background using the Patterns available on Photoshop.
Have a wonderful week ahead!!

DeleteYour oil pastell looks great. Not sure what that is. Don´t think I have seen that.
ReplyDeleteYour digitals also look great. As you know I work a lot on the computer but I have not really done a painting that way. For real that is. Not using filters. You did great so far :) It is fun to work with.
Take care!
I like your flowers and how you kept going. I have some of them but have not tried using them. I should get them out. Thank you for visiting my blog!
