What Nature and Oil Pastels have in Common
Nature looks complicated, but its attractive quality is that nothing is determined. Different colors of light are emitted depending on the time of day, shapes change according to the wind, and the angles change depending on the direction in which the plant grows.
Oil pastels are perfect for capturing this charm of nature. The oil pastel's unique greasy and warm texture and color resemble nature's complex and colorful appearance.

Hello! I'm Isletsol, an artist that captures the warm and special moments of everyday life!
I was an art major in college, and since then, I have been working in a hobby art studio using all sorts of artistic mediums. When I first tried oil pastel, I was surprised at how light and easy it was to carry, and how it has a steady texture and color development. Since then, I have drawn more and more paintings. Thankfully, my oil pastel paintings are loved by many people :)
With this art class based on my artistic experience, make your travel drawing as deep as painting with the light materials of oil pastels.
