Charcoal on paper

A bit more risqué than what I normally draw but I find that charcoal lends itself almost too easily to sensual illustrations. I wonder why.

Oil pastels on paper

Any difficulty detailing with oil pastels are, in my experience, offset by the ease with which they can be wiped away. This is why I like using black paper for this medium. A black color pencil is all I need to create shadows and defined lines.

Gouache on canvas

Aloha! First time trying out gouache and I enjoyed it. It seems easier to apply color with this than with watercolors but I think I must work on my technique with paints in general.

Techniques that I personally find challenging are mixing colors for skin tones and then shading them in properly. I suppose I now have a technical reason to marvel at paintings that show off some skin!

Oil pastels on paper

I was beginning to think that oil pastels are mainly good for freestyling, but I’m finding it possible to work detail into subjects. I must experiment more.
