...Ahh...Paradise...


This is my other colored piece that I am proud of. Another high school project, this time created using oil pastels in a pointillism fashion. The instructor insisted on us using as many colors as possible to create the different shades and hues. Every spot of color was done by tapping the paper with the oil pastel. Initially, I got a little carried away on scale by making it about 36"x24". Luckily it was a semester project but it was definitely time consuming. It sounded like twenty woodpeckers in class while everyone was working on this project. I think only three or four students out of the twenty got anywhere close to being done.
