Vine Tomatoes Still Life in Oil Pastel

For this one i used all my oil pastels, from the hardest to the stickiest to the softest. The grain of the canvas panel was filled in very quickly and because all the pastels besides sennelier are so opaque, i feel like i lost some of the vibrancy I’d found in the strawberry earlier. However, still life is a wonderfully fun way to treat out and push your skills in a new medium and i can’t recommend it enough!

Also, man, studying ripe tomatoes on the vine from my snowy window seat in February is an exercise in… something. Sitting with unfulfilled cravings maybe.
