I would love to share thoughts on techniques, products, books, concepts … relating to art every Friday, and hope you will join in with your experiences and photos. It is Thursday evening and so I am jumping the gun a little. But, I wanted to mention the Sennelier Oil Pastels, both the shorter ones and the big one in white that I used for the first time the other day over a painting that I had begun in walnut oils. Firstly, I did not really notice a smell which was a bonus. And, secondly, I loved doodling with them on the tip and also swiping across from the side. Sometimes, I dissolved them with oil paint or walnut oil on a cloth. A friend mentioned that the R&W ones are “amazingly soft and luscious to work with.” Here are a few photos of the stages of “Renewal.”
