Step by step painting, white flower with oil pastels and acrylics.

The water soluble oil pastels I bought some days ago, just really made me happy. I was amazed to discover how nice do they collaborate with acrylics as well. I have had in my art supplies, a black backround canvas book, bound with a wooden vintage covering, that was for when I would feel flower painting not to be that difficult for me. I sketched out a rough outline of the picture.

The edges were smoothened  with a wooden stick and some paper towel, so that the acrylics could start being applied layer after layer.

I made a watery mixture of colours, chose a brush with with an angle and started painting. Emerald, ochra, a little cadmium scarlet and amber to make the green colour no that cold, and titanium white. 

I kept painting in layers to the final result. 

I decided not to add further to this one, and leave some of the oil pastels' details to be highlighted among the overall paint brushes.

Or would it maybe one more layer be a better idea? While the art book continues, we will find out.

Enjoy!

With lots of love,
