Carry On

… from my previous blog entry. I made a slightly larger mock up of an earlier sketch. There is no denying my influences here — a combination of Vincent Van Gogh and Monkey Island artwork.

Mock up using oil pastels.

My Creative Space...

Okay! Very annoyed (not a great way to start), but I had just finished writing the perfect blog entry, and the blog went all kapowie and I lost the piece. Let's see if I can rewrite that sparkle. [SAVE NOW!]

This week I have been sketching and drawing with oil pastels. You can see examples of my work down below and in previous entries from this week.

Yesterday I visited the library and borrowed two books on the Impressionists. Originally these painters were a somewhat overlooked for creating a new paint style. But eventually the public began to appreciate their work, and these artists became a commercial success. Take that Académie Royale!

Please Pass the Pastel

At the moment I am having fun drawing with texta and oil pastels. I have started a new sketch book and these are the first two drawings in it.

Back To Basics

The past few days I have been taking a break from Photoshop work, and getting back to basics. I pulled out an old box of oil pastels, a colour wheel, and experimented with a variety of patterns.
