Oil pastel over watercolor

Rosa on Instagram: "Normally I smooth out the oil pastels and a while ago I tried to use a palette knife with the pastels and I liked how it turned out so I wanted to use the same method and try to go for a less detailed painting but with lots of texture. • • Pastels: Paul Rubens Oil Pastels Paper: Arteza mix media paper • #oilpastel #oilpastels #oilpasteldrawing #oilpastelart #pasteldrawing #drawing #oilpastelpainting #landscapepainting #landscapedrawing #draw #pastelpainting"

Anton Gudim is an artist who’s great at noticing how contradictory our everyday life can be. Besides his quirky short-paneled comics, the artist also creates sarcastic and relatable illustrations he calls "Yes, But" that depict two sides of the same circumstance.

this is my all time fav kindergarten lesson. we cover line styles (horizontal, vertical, diagonal, etc.) they all learn the basic concept and importance of line, create them with brilliant oil pastels, then do a watercolor wash over top. the resist is my fav. technique, and possibly over used, but i love it anyway. and so do they! :)
