Continuing my love-hate-relationship with oil pastel.
When I saw the #DTIYS challenge from @mariibyrd, I wanted to try it.But I'm not happy with the result and as often it turned out differently than I had imagined. Oh well.

(also the washi tape tore the paper)

This memory from 5 years ago appeared in my Facebook feed.

The model, Maria, was one of our first Zoom models at the start of the pandemic, when her other work dried up.

Oil pastel on toned, gessoed watercolor paper.

It took a lot of courage to open my new set of 60 Van Gogh oil pastels. Finally worked up the nerve to do a color test—and I’m in love with my new toys! 😍 #NewArtSupplies #OilPastel #joy #Myart

100 days of painting or drawing foods. The vegetables were fun to draw the meals I struggled with drawing more. The colours are just things I can’t get right, the creams, browns and neutrals were something I found hard through the whole 100 images. #watercolour #painting #oilPastel #food #MastoArt
