Oil Pastel Purple Anemone Painting

I have a book of flowers that I love to use for inspiration and color palettes. Don’t be afraid to use floral arranging resources for painting references. It will give inspiration for color choices, sizes, and more! Here is one of my favorites! It’s a beautiful book!

I used all of the brands of oil pastels that usually sit on my studio desk: Paul Rubens, Mungyo Gallery, and Artecho. The color palettes are great, and they are all easy on the budget. I’m also using my favorite Strathmore toned paper. šŸ™‚

I love collaging with my other art to create new combos for journaling and clip art.

Surface pattern designs for paper, fabric, and wallpaper are another great way to practically use your art. Surround yourself with color!
