Oil pastels are so much fun to use! I was inspired by a photo in a Daphne's Diary magazine of wildflowers in a vintage tin. I used Mungyo and Paul Rubens oil pastels on Strathmore toned paper. I also used colored pencils for some of the finer details and writing. They work well with oil pastels! I created a digital paper (below) with this painting, as well as some other oil pastel paintings. I love the color and texture! I have close to eighty oil pastel videos on my YouTube ...

Oil Pastel & Inktense Mountain Landscape Painting
I love nature. Creation is a constant reminder that God is powerful and loves beautiful things! The majesty of mountains contrast with the peace of the fields. For this painting, I used my Derwent Inktense pencils to color the large shapes of the fields and mountains. I then activated the color with water. The activated ink, once dry, won't move as more media is layered on top. I switched to my oil pastels, which are great for texture and an impressionist feel. ... View the Post
Watercolor with Neutrals Palette & Video
I grabbed my Jane Davenport neutrals palette and created a colorful blob in my watercolor art journal. Sometimes, that is all I feel like doing when my brain is a creative mush. :) Once I did that, I saw a person! I then painted this girl.

I added Inktense pencils and my white Posca paint pen for a few details. This Jane davenport palette has some great ... View the Post
Honey Bee & Flowers Paintings
I often paint smaller subjects in my art journal, then create a digital seamless, surface pattern designs for my Etsy shop, as well as my sales tab here on my blog. These designs get used for fabric, paper, wallpaper, and many other creative endeavors. For the flowers, I used watercolor in a loose style. I love the wet-on-wet technique. You can't always control what the paint will do, but you can get unique results! My little bee was painted with acrylic markers and a shimmer pen from ... View the Post
Tombow Markers Wonky House Painting VIDEO
Since I was a little girl, I have always loved drawing houses. Architecture is such a great art that combines both sides of the brain. I'm not sure that this wonky house would structurally withstand the test of time, but it would be fun to live in nevertheless. :) I sketched it out with a ink pen, then painted with Tombow Dual Brush Markers. They are such a versatile art supply! Check out the video! ... View the Post
Oil Pastel Bird Painting on Vintage Paper
This paper, which has a vintage coloring and textured surface, is very interesting to use for painting. It is great for oil pastels, gouache, acrylic paint, colored pencils, and minimal watercolor. Watercolors soak in pretty quickly, so I would only use them minimally and in conjunction with other media. I love painting birds! This little cutie is mostly colored pencil and oil pastels. There is a very small amount of watercolor for blending purposes. It would be lovely to frame behind glass. ... View the Post
