Oil pastels are so much fun to use! I was inspired by a photo in a Daphne's Diary magazine of wildflowers in a vintage tin. I used Mungyo and Paul Rubens oil pastels on Strathmore toned paper. I also used colored pencils for some of the finer details and writing. They work well with oil pastels! I created a digital paper (below) with this painting, as well as some other oil pastel paintings. I love the color and texture! I have close to eighty oil pastel videos on my YouTube ...

Oil Pastel & Inktense Mountain Landscape Painting
I love nature. Creation is a constant reminder that God is powerful and loves beautiful things! The majesty of mountains contrast with the peace of the fields. For this painting, I used my Derwent Inktense pencils to color the large shapes of the fields and mountains. I then activated the color with water. The activated ink, once dry, won't move as more media is layered on top. I switched to my oil pastels, which are great for texture and an impressionist feel. ... View the Post

Card Making Inspiration
I have been getting back into making cards lately. I am woefully behind on my paper crafting projects, as more of my attention has been on my surface pattern design original artwork.

Honey Bee & Flowers Paintings
I often paint smaller subjects in my art journal, then create a digital seamless, surface pattern designs for my Etsy shop, as well as my sales tab here on my blog. These designs get used for fabric, paper, wallpaper, and many other creative endeavors. For the flowers, I used watercolor in a loose style. I love the wet-on-wet technique. You can't always control what the paint will do, but you can get unique results! My little bee was painted with acrylic markers and a shimmer pen from ... View the Post
