The Magic of Oil Pastels

All my life, I have known I am terrible at art. I used to be the absolute worst in my class every year when it came to drawing, sketching and painting. I always felt sad about it because I envied the people who had the amazing talent of putting down on canvas and paper what they imagined. Imagination is something I am really good at but putting it on paper has been a struggle since childhood.
A couple of years ago, I discovered oil pastels and the magic they create on paper. Innumerable YouTube tutorials later, I became confident enough to re-create some amazing paintings that I found online using oil pastels. I am no expert but I would say I am definitely making progress.
Since the lockdown was imposed to keep us safe from Covid-19 infection, I decided to create one oil pastel every day by drawing inspiration from some of the beautiful paintings out there.
This blogging site is all about the oil pastels I am going to create under the lockdown along with the inspiration behind it. Leave a kind word if you like them.
