Work in Progress

Coming along nicely. This oil pastel painting is near complete. I will need to fill it in with more color, making it a little more solid and not too transparent with the background color. The sky will need to be smoothed out as much as possible. Might add some more highlights in areas where sunlight is most extreme on the subject. I really like how the colors are coordinating together as well as the overall image. Oil pastels really give you a different approach and style than the dry pastels. Between the two, oil pastels are less giving and are more difficult to use. The blending of colors are in the eyes of the viewer with colors being applied side by side, a traditional Impressionist approach to painting.
