Oil Pastel Penguin Painting
We just returned from spending a week in Miami, where the temperatures were in the upper 70s. Now, it is 27 degrees as I write this. Yikes! I thought this winter penguin would be appropriate. :) I love his matching sweater and hat. Even the penguins would be cold in my state! :) I used colored pencils for the underpainting and my oil pastels on top for creamy texture. I love using Strathmore's toned tan paper with oil pastels! It doesn't seep through, and the colored paper sets off the ... View the Post

Here is a seamless pattern design using the "not creepy" scarecrow. :) You can find him in fabric and wallpaper at Spoonflower! ... View the Post

It comes with a dot card of Daniel Smith watercolors, so I tried to just use those for the most part. I recommend the book if you love birds. It is a great read and has inspiring tutorials. Check out the video below! ... View the Post
Oil Pastel Christmas Candle Painting & VIDEO
Another Christmas is approaching. I'm so glad that the Savior, Jesus, came to die for us all! He is the light of the world, and this dark world really does need light. Here is an oil pastel painting of a candle. I first drew the underpainting with colored pencils to save layers. Creamy pastels can be harder to layer, so creating an underpainting not only saves the pastels, but also helps block in the colors and provide some shading. I created this surface pattern design, which is ... View the Post
