Studying color chords, and oil pastel techniques (underpainting, blending, layering, edge control). I'm using a box set of 25 oil pastels that I've had tucked away, unused, for years. I'm getting familiar with the application characteristics of these sticks, but I don't have anything to compare them to yet. I'm looking forward to comparing these to a 120 color box set of Sennelier oil pastels I'll be picking up next week. After getting familiar with those for a while, I'm really looking forward to comparing the Senneliers to the 225 color box set of Holbein oil pastels that are arranged in 25 gorgeous hue sets that shimmer with the promise of an amazing range of color, value, and chordal inspiration.

Resplendent! Shimmering, warm, glowing ... it invites us to just walk on in. Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful and bedazzling. I love the colors, although I realize the computer doesn't do it justice. Will look forward to seeing all you color work tomorrow. Love you, mom
