Oil Pastel Autumn Purple & Blue Wreath

It won't be long before we ease into the winter and Christmas wreaths, so I wanted to paint a wreath in colors that could be for the fall or early winter. I used oil pastels on Strathmore's toned gray paper (Please don't stop making this, Strathmore!). I also created a pattern design that includes this wreath. I love the colors! SHORT VIDEO HERE! ...

Oil Pastel House with Flowers

I was inspired by those houses in Europe that tend to have vines and flowers growing all over them. I used mostly oil pastels, as they lend themselves well to the impressionism style of art. I used Strathmore's toned tan paper, which is always a joy to use. (SHORT VIDEO HERE!) ... View the Post
