My girl friend, Thien from Lola Paige, came over last night and we had an art night. She introduced me to the world of oil pastels. I have never even thought about using them or thought against it either. I didn't even know there were different pastel choices! As I learned, I have a pack of the chalky kind; while she came over and introduced me to the oils. I like the oil pastels. A lot. She showed me how to put layers upon layers on to the canvas and then when you reach the color you like, then you use a toothpick to etch something into it. It was brilliant! I am still working on the layers, but I love the process and how it can evolve. I love how I can keep on learning new techniques with art, even after school. It keeps my thinking fresh! I'm going to go buy a pack of oil pastels as soon as possible.
Here is a picture of my layers in progress:
I am so excited to see what this becomes!
