Painting

Oil Pastel Living Room Painting

I was obsessed with houses as a kid, interior decor and the architecture. I love practical art forms, and houses are the perfect catalyst for useable design. I sketched in my Strathmore toned tan paper art journal. Oil pastels and colored pencils work so well together! Maybe you can snag some great sales this week! I mostly used Artecho in this piece. They are creamy and have a great price point. The array of color choices is great too! šŸ™‚

Here are a few step-by-step photos, and there is a very short video at the bottom of the post. I love the colors here, which give a boho style anchored in tradition.

The couch turned out a bit wonky, but it’s fun and colorful!
