We had a fairly wet September, so our lawn has lots of mushrooms popping up here and there. It's amazing that mushrooms can come in so many colors! I've used black drawing paper in my art journal with a combination of oil and soft pastels. These quick paintings are fun exercises, and I use them in my digital art.

Oil Pastel Floral Painting & Video
At the risk of painting too many flowers (if that is possible), I again bring you some flowers in oil pastels on my favorite paper.

I love their reliable creaminess, still having the ability to layer. ... View the Post
Oil Pastel White Flower Painting & Video
Sometimes, the simple things are the best things. This was a fun one to paint in oil pastels with loose strokes and the lovely white contrasted by the Strathmore toned tan paper. THIS VIDEO showcases three paintings in a sped-up format. ... View the Post
