Pencil Shading Technique – How to Shade a Drawing Using Pointillism
About Miranda
My work fits into two very different and unrelated categories: realism and abstract. Each style allows me to challenge different parts of my personality. Drawing realistically indulges the side of me that loves detail and is a perfectionist. It challenges me technically and I am always pushing to create more accurate drawings. The abstract works reflect my interest in colour and form. I am able to work loosely and fluidly, reacting to the painting as I go. It is sometimes a relief to shift from the tight discipline of realistic drawing to this type of work, but it can be equally relieving to go from these open-ended paintings to getting lost in the details of a drawing.
Oil Pastel Techniques – Painting on a Photo
Oil pastels are quite versatile and can be worked using a variety of different techniques. You can thin them down with a paint thinner just like oil paints to create washes or you can apply them thickly as an Impasto. Like any other medium however, they can be a bit tricky to work with in the beginning. It is often helpful to observe other artists using oil pastels to help inspire you to develop your own unique style.
