I learned a new technique for art this past week, oil pastels. Oil pastels give you a different texture, that almost looks like paint and crayons put together. It's easier to use than paint, but looks nicer than crayon, and blends better than colored pencils. You use small circular strokes to blend, as it doesn't leave scribbly lines. Oil pastels can look very good if done correctly.
On the environment project, I took a risk by using oil pastels. Last week was the first time we learned to use oil pastels. This was a completely new process for me, learning how to blend the colors was a bit of a challenge, but I think I did well. You have to use circular strokes, because straight ones leave a lot of white behind. In the end, oil pastels give a nice color and texture, and I am happy with the work i did.
