SUMMER MEADOW oil pastel

SUMMER MEADOW is a 5x7 oil pastel done plein air. 

The oil pastels are very easy to take when traveling.  

I like working with them on location. 

Oil pastels are fun to work with because you can mix

 a variety of media with them to create different effects.

 I am working on a series of small plein air oil pastels. 

 This is number two.

 It is available in my Etsy shop.

Assateague Marshes oil pastel

This is a new medium for me that I have been trying out, oil pastels. 

 They are similar to regular pastels but do not have the dust that is created by regular pastels. 

 I like the layering and blending and they are so easy to travel with;

 although I think they would not do well in high heat. 

 I think I will keep experimenting with them. 

 This little painting is done with oil pastel and is available in my ETSY shop
