Oil Pastel Fashion Blouses & Patterns!

Fashion fun! I love this color palette. It is timeless and cheerful! :) I painted some fashion blouses and created a surface pattern design with some past paintings that coordinated. I have two videos below for the change purses! I used Strathmore toned paper and sketched with my colored pencils. Then, I finished with oil pastels. Sennelier's iridescent gold is great to make shimmery final details! ... View the Post

White Bean Basil Dip/Spread & VIDEO

It's the day before Thanksgiving, and there is sweet potato casserole to be made, cake, green beans, and the famous rolls!

Mixed Media Horse Head Painting

Until around 2016, I thought that I couldn't paint or draw. As a kid, I could only draw clothes, houses, and horse heads to the right. I am still learning and growing (and this horse head is certainly quite basic), but becoming a paid artist was a child's dream. I love my art journal, where I can try ideas without the pressure. Also, on this particular day, I think I was missing my horse who passed away a few years ago. I used Tombow brush markers, colored pencils, and my white Posca paint ... View the Post
