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. ๐๐
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. ๐
The flowers are stamps which I arranged randomly and selected a background using the Patterns available on Photoshop.
Have a wonderful week ahead!!
Until Next Post...

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!
