This mini oil pastel painting is part of a journal page with three other mini paintings (see photo below)! It's a fun technique for your art journal. :) I also have a video for this flower.

Oil Pastel Fan Painting & Short Video

I remember one Christmas, my daughter asked for a fancy fan as a gift. I was thinking of that sweet memory, and it was the inspiration for this little painting.
