One more experiment with oil pastels. In this case pointillism worked pretty well to render the unreal atmosphere of a snow covered country, in my opinion. I hope you enjoy it :)
Oil pastels on ash grey Ingres paper. Original 24*32 cm.
For years, many years ago I used the same technique and loved it, of course a mechanical pencil compared to a brush are two different animals. You seem to have found the bug and it's working very well. I love your style Cristina...
Great work, have you done it on canvas of on paper?
I'm just an amateur painter, struggling to find my own style.
I believe you have your own style and let me tell you, it is good... we search all our life to improve but we all have our own style.
