Hello, how are you? My head hurts today. I thought a caramel sundae would fix it, but it's just temporary. I woke up early today to free spay and neuter, guess who got spayed? Yes Mochi! I've been so nervous for days now, and I feel relieved that she is fine now, and the doctors who operated on her are so skilled that her scar doesn't look like a stitch at all, so I am so thankful for the free program like this. So maybe I am going to post my experience tomorrow or in the next few days.
So yeah, I decided to change my subjects for my oil pastels. I saw a few vegetables on the refrigerator to make as a reference photo, so I did. I use carrots, bell pepper, red onion, and garlic.
Materials I Used:
- Paper
- Oil Pastel
- Tissue
- Scratching Tool
Craft Time!
At first, I hesitated to do it, but I have had a few experiences with it.
I use dark brown to draw the line art, which is a good start. And then I added the base colors of each vegetable with light pressure so that I could blend them easily when I layer them more.
Then I layer it with more pressure this time, and then I left the other part not layered so that I can add the lightest color from it. Blue is the perfect color for the background, so I did a hatching first, so when I decided to change color, it would not be hard.
Then I added shadow to the vegetables to make them more dimensional. I do this to make my eyes see which part needs more lighting and shadow.
In this part, I added the accent colors, and then I started filling the background.
I added a different shadow color, not just black, to make it more dimensional and not flat.
Then I use this clay tool as my scratching tool for today. I forgot where I placed the usual clay tool I use for scratching. I use this to add texture to the drawing.
The scratching serves as both a thin line and a highlight. Since I discovered this technique, I can't stop doing it. LOL.
Now I use it to add my signature too, which is so cool.
I hope you like it.
Thank you for visiting, see you on my next blog. :D
