Oil pastel on canvas | 8”x10” | In this quick study, I was using Cray-Pas Expressionist oil pastels. I also used a paper blending stub and a paint brush with mineral oil to help smooth and blend areas on the “painting.” I feel like oil pastels often get a bad rap, mostly because the really cheap ones feel like crayons and they don’t have a drying oil in them. However, I was recently intrigued to discover that Monet actually used soft pastels quite extensively for studies because they were more economical.
Thank you!
Nice work MB....Those choc chip cookies look delicious!
Haha! I was going for the impression of cars, but now they definitely just look like chocolate chip cookies!
