I have been enjoying painting simple landscapes, and for this painting, I limited myself to a specific rose-like palette. I used Artecho oil pastels along with my Prismacolor colored pencils for detail work and sketching. The Canson Graduate toned paper works really well holding up the creamy pastels. I have a VIDEO at the bottom of the post. 🙂
Challenging yourself to use a more limited palette can boost creativity. Sometimes, too many choices can feel overwhelming and defeat you before you’ve had a chance to start! Pick a small handful of colors and see what happens!
A pile of potential!
Here are the lovelies! Video below. 🙂
Adding gold flecks with Sennelier oil pastels can give a lovely detail to make a painting special!
