The Story Behind the Sketch:
(Just a quick post here on this snowy day in PA.) I decided to try to lift myself out of the winter blahs by experimenting with the same oil pastels I used in the last post, only this time on black card stock, and choosing a nice summery theme.
The Technical Stuff:
Stampin’ Up Black Card Stock, Reeves Oil Pastels and Pro-Art Oil Pastels
My Experience in Doing this Sketch:
I had no idea if these pastels would be opaque enough to work, but they did pretty well. This medium seems to force me to loosen-up & use bright colors—which is kind of fun. ( And it’s okay to do something just for fun once in a while!)

Beautiful work in oil pastels – covered really well. The purples are gorgeous!

I’m with you in trying new materials that nudge more loose, expressive work. Lovely.

Yes, I tend to tighten-up when I work, so this is good for me. Thanks for your comment!
