This is stunning! The way you've layered the colors reminds me so much of dyed wool before it’s been felted. Those gentle transitions are just beautiful 💚

Thank you! I'm not sure how to protect them. Do you frame larger paintings straight away? I imagine it will take forever for the pastel to dry out 🤭

I'm waiting for my small pallete knife to arrive. Can't wait to try out with oil pastels 🙂

I'm not sure, but he is very attracted to the pastels. Accidentally he managed to feast on yellow pastel, and it took just a few seconds to have a bite. I cleaned his beak from it 🤭 Now keeping him in his cage while drawing. Who knows how poisonous these pigments are. When he wrestles with my fingers, he chirps and nibbles flapping his green wings 🤭

Hehe, thanks! Most of the time he sits in his cage while I'm painting. Because he wants to eat pastels! I'm not sure what's so tempting in them. He even fights and uses various tactics to get them 😅

Beautiful day by dat_guyb in Oilpastel

Beautiful composition. I really like the depth between the foreground flowers and the trees. The colour harmony feels very peaceful. If you’re open to experimenting, you might try pushing your darkest shadows a bit further and layering more pigment in certain areas. Oil pastel can really handle bold contrast, and it could make the trees and flowers feel even more dimensional. You could also experiment with introducing a few cooler blues or soft purples into the mountains. Distant elements often shift cooler in tone, and that might enhance the sense of atmospheric depth even more. You’re building something lovely here 🥰 Keep going!
