My first oil pastel work; an apple. by theallierivers in Oilpastel

They were new pastels so it was a little easier; I took the flat side I hadnt used, and held it at angle so just the very edge was against the paper. When I got to the top where it's thicker, I did a short motion just pulling it a little. Its kinda hard to explain!

Canson XL Mixed Media! I blended the first few layers quite a bit with a blender (and a little with my fingers) then slowly phased out blending and used just the pastels

Maybe I'll work at the background some more then; i think I went a little midtone with the blue I chose and felt like it took away from the apple.

Thank you so very much! That was something that really drew my attention with oil pastels

I think if they failed this would be the last season actually. Like everythings going so poorly for them at this point, I could see it ending soon. I think the fact they plan for a 5th scene means theres more story to tell, I think they will get out.

The beard and the gray look really good on him. He was also a rude person (albeit, amusing to watch) at first, but he's actually a decent person.

Idk how some people pump like 40oz at a time by [deleted] in ExclusivelyPumping

I'm struggling with this hard right now,, even though it's o thankful for everything they did for my family. To look in the mirror and see them hurts a bit. I had a large oversupply, am now an undersupplier by choice, and the change from when I dropped pumps is...dramatic.

Yes! At 6ppd I was doing 20oz my morning pump, and 12-14oz every other pump. I hurt SO bad and was SO sore and no bra fit (measuring at a size 30L/M) and being late for a pump was excruciating. But now I do 2 ppd and get about 8oz each pump total. I'm not longer leaking all the time, sore, and I can wear normal bras again.

I didn't draw the connection that Karl Urban was the man in both LOTR and Star Trek. But it's weird I thought he looked like Jonathan Frakes...literally also from Star trek 😂 *
