Oil Pastel Farm Landscape in Coral & VIDEO

I love corals and pinks! Recently, I featured a landscape in a purple palette. This is my coral palette. It was a fun challenge limiting myself to fewer colors. I’m glad, for example, this Artecho oil pastel set has a lot of amazing colors, but there are days when too many choices can feel overwhelming. I’m using my trusty Strathmore toned tan paper, edges taped with washi. You know I have to have a fence in the foreground. 🙂

I like the contrast of the creamy sky with more textural moments in the barn and field. What is your favorite technique? Oil pastels can be used in a variety of ways, which makes them a versatile art supply. Check out the video at the bottom of the post!

Use your colored pencils to add details and “etch” into the pastels for a great effect!
