Oil Pastel Peaceful Woods & VIDEO

Peace. It’s what we are all after, isn’t it? I think that is what draws me to nature and inspires me to paint it. It brings peace to try to recreate the gentle peace of nature. I’ve use a few brands of oil pastels (VIDEO BELOW), and I love the creamy texture they bring to a piece. We live in a hurried, upset world system that always wants us to be in a frenzy. Use art to give some health your mind and heart!

I used my Prismacolor colored pencils for some of the sketching and tree detail. You can also use charcoal pencils for details. Use your art supplies! They play well together. 🙂
