FLORALS WITH OIL PASTEL

Getting out my Paris souvenir for this humble Marigold. I've been painting florals with watercolor for so long, I thought I would experiment with oil pastel on canvas paper.

I love how the texture of the paper ia affecting the feel of the petals. The tip of the oil pastel is just right for indicating the green leaves.

Experimenting with touches of turpentine wash, just to see what happens...

Really like the smoothness of the wash, a nice contrast next to the texture of the flowers.

I love happy accidents!
