Oil pastels and an oil painting

Oil pastels and an oil painting

29 August 2017

An oil pastel sketch of my daughter when she was little (based on a photograph)

 

I have not usually favoured the use of pastels as I feel somewhat hindered by the amount of mess they often generate which cannot be somehow « fixed » unlike oils and to an extent acrylic and aquarelle.

 

My daughter on the other hand was so enamoured with soft pastels that it got me thinking I should perhaps revisit the subject. I had both oil and soft chalk pastels and decided upon the oils to complement the oil painting of flowers in a vase.

 

I hope you like all of them.
