Five weeks back I had promised to not turn into a couch potato and to post another blog within a week. But even the thought of making something blogger worthy and posting it makes me sink deeper in my cushions and hide under the covers. And the beginning of the new school session has added another load of tasks on my everyday-to-do list (not that I'm organised enough to actually make a list).
So apart from pretending to be a sack of potatoes I've been taking interest in oil pastel drawings. I think oil pastels are my second favourite colouring equipments after coloured pencils. Oil pastels are so easy to blend and make your pictures look vibrant without having to put too effort in it. All you need is to have a clear pencil drawing and to get familiar with the shading and the blending of the colours.
I haven't yet got the chance to try soft pastels but as soon as I get a few days free I'm sure that will be the first thing I'll do. In my next blog post (which I hope you get to see soon) I will share a picture of my first try at portrait using oil pastels.
Thank you if you read this post.
P.S. it's just my second post but I think I have typed the word 'potato' enough number of times.
