Oil Pastel Moth Paintings & Pattern Design

I love painting moths! There are so many variations in their wings and fuzzy antennae. 🙂 In the bug world, they are among my favorites (granted, the list of cute bugs isn’t long). I also created a surface pattern design that can be seen in pictures below.

I started with my Prismacolor colored pencils, then added the oil pastels. I also added the amazing Sennelier iridescent oil pastels. In person, the shimmer is amazing!

I also included some watercolor moths that I painted a couple of years ago. The more moths, the merrier!
