Art Exploration - Oil Pastel on Acrylic prepped canvas

By AmyNoel 種子
I just really want to explore more with oil pastel but it's been frustrating for not finding a way I am comfortable with to express.  With this piece of image, I felt much better and started a new piece right away as below.

Well, this one at last didn't come to the result that I am happy with but I learned from it.  More valuable to me is that, like acrylic glazing, slowly blending the pastel colors really relaxes me.

Maybe I'll show the complete work later.

Color Prompt :  What color do you like least? Use it! Quote Prompt :  "Don't refuse to go on an occasional wild goose chase -- that's what wild geese are for." Anonymous It appeared to me that the color prompt was easier for me to start up.  I wasn't thinking much about the headline and quote.  I wouldn't say that I dislike a certain color.  It is rather that I have less control over some of them.  Orange was the first color came across my mind and I always have hard time matching it with dark blue like Persian blue.  That was how I got there.

The picture was done after my being lazy for quite a while.  I was trying to draw this flower in colors combination that I rarely use or am not too comfortable with.  Cool color tone is always challenging for me.
