Purple Oil Pastel Landscape & Painting

I love challenging myself to work in a limited palette. Obviously, purple is our main color here, but accenting with browns and ochres sets it off nicely! 🙂 I used mostly my Artecho oil pastel set. The color selection is amazing! I painted on Canson Graduate toned mixed media paper, which is very affordable at Blick. There is a video at the bottom of the post, and I hope you will try this one out!

Serene landscapes are fun to paint, and really you can pick any color palette to try. I like the old fence in the foreground, as it gives the painting more depth. You can paint this!
