Oil Pastels in Aberdeen

So I had to go to Aberdeen for 5 nights for train the trainer training. My first thought was taking some minis and paints down, but after watching my case being loaded I am glad I didn’t. Instead I took my oil pastels and tried to do something every night… Since Monday night I have achieved my goal…

I decided to keep going on the same idea rather than trying something new each evening. The first was on off white/grey paper, After which I changed to black. I will keep practicing on this style as I like doing it. My blending is definitely improving, not there yet, but getting there.

The last one was this evening. I decided to try a different approach to the swirling ripple effect.

I will work on it more tomorrow..

Totoro and a Two Legged Moose

Today my daughter wanted to do some drawing so we decided to draw Totoro as Studio Ghibli films are her favourite. I printed her a Totoro (which is evidently a mispronunciation of Troll) the other day. I need to get some Greenstuff on the drain hole on his head. Luckily I put it on the leaf so then I can make a stalk to hide it.

So anyway my pictures ended up like this…

As for the two legged moose… here he is….not sure what happened to him, but I really think I am going to cease printing for a while as it is very cold in there.

He really is a rather nice model, he comes with a female and a calf too. I might just paint him anyway and shove him in some heavy brush.
