Flowers and Vase (Oil Bar Still Life)


Flowers and Vase (Oil Bar Still Life)
Originally uploaded by randubnick.

I painted this still life last night. It was the first session of a class on painting with oil bars, and my first experience using oil bars. Last night I only had red, yellow, and blue oil bars (plus black and white). Working with new materials or an unfamiliar palette creates challenges and makes you grow, even if (especially because) it takes you out of your comfort zone. I was certainly struggling last night, but I learned a lot and am looking forward to the next class.
