Little Copper Watering Can
I finally got a chance to try out my new oil pastels by entering the Daily Paint Works "Copper Challenge." I decided to do a small still life with a small copper watering can. I almost gave up--oil pastels are difficult enough, but the copper was even harder. But I persisted and I think the can came out looking like copper. Not sure about the perspective and flower though.
I think you did an excellent job! I think the colors are definitely right and certainly go perfectly with the blue background. Do the oil pastels blend like the soft pastels? I've never tried them so I'm anxious to see the similarities and differences between the two kinds.
ReplyDeleteThank you Carol. Oil pastels are a little harder to blend. There are tips on the Oil Pastel Society web site; I found them very helpful. There are some demonstrations on YouTube also. I did find that they work best on Sennelier oil pastel paper, at least they did for me.
