been on a big/traditional artwork kick ever since I picked up large paper by chance at the art store. bought my first set of soft pastels over the weekend to play around with and love how hazy and dreamy they look when smeared out. used them as a base for this piece to lay down some rough color over a color pencil sketch then did the rest in oil pastels. was in a mood to paint something blue (when am I not), put on gab smolders's silent hill 3 playthrough as background noise, and got to it. it's really interesting how your feelings can change toward an art supply. I remember first testing out oil pastels a year ago and wanting so badly to like them, but feeling hindered by my unfamiliarity with the medium. I decided to just lean into the messiness and no joke they're now one of my favorite traditional mediums to use (gouache is hard to beat). it's so satisfying to blend colors together and the resulting texture is delicious (who amongst us hasn't thought about eating art?). having so much fun with traditional mixed media lately, I like how it makes me feel embodied in the process! ^_^

Whenever I see an artist working with a messy medium they seem to be having the most fun, and these are stunning! I love the colors together <3 And the listening to Gab play a horror game while doing something I relate to a lot haha
