My First Time Trying ✧ Oil Pastels ✧

Описание: ✿ H e l l o! ✿
I haven't touched oil pastels since I was in High School - and I hated them then! But about 5 months ago I lost control and purchased a set of LOVELY Sennelier Oil Pastels. I've been sitting with them since then. But I finally decided to break the fear of using them and just go for it!!

I painted a base layer in the hot pink/orange because that I what I tend to do when I make paintings - so I kind of approached this oil pastel the same way I do my paintings.

I had A LOT of fun and I can't wait to make more drawings!
(Who here know the best way to seal/finish an oil pastel piece?? Help!)

The reference I used was from one of my own photographs which I took in 2017 in Glencoe, Scotland.
There is a vlog up on Patreon now with a lot more details about how I planned and my thoughts on the piece and process if you're interested to learn some more.

ALSO! This piece will be the MARCH 2024 patreon mini print reward. It'll come with a matching sticker and a page of sketches on the back of the print. Watch out for the announcement.
Prints coming soon, too!
