I'm still playing around with oil pastel to see what I can get it to do. I'd really like to get it to look like regular oil paints. (I should probably give up and just use oils, but I don't like the smell.) It's painted on tinted watercolor paper with a coat of Art Spectrum Colourfix primer, clear. I think if I used a smoother paper it would look more like an oil painting, but I sort of like the effect of the texture of the paper that shows through in the background. I might enter this in the Color Challenge of Daily Paintworks if I can figure out if it qualifies for one of the color schemes. That was the original intent when I started, but where is brown on the color wheel?
I like it. It has your signature style. Isn't brown a mix of magenta, cyan and yellow? :-)
ReplyDeleteAwesome job on the wood tones of the table, Melanie. I also love that old turquoise vase and it holds a lovely tulip! Another lovely piece!
ReplyDeleteThanks Tim. I think you can make brown a few different ways, but I'd have to check.
ReplyDeleteThank you AutumnLeaves. I was surprised that the wood tones came out as well as they did. I must have been channeling Andy Smith when I painted it.
Thanks MD for recent comments on my Endeavor post, couldn't find your email so thought I'd thank you here. Hopefully I will be painting the beach soon.
