Colour! Colour! Colour!

This week we're using a new technique - painting with oil pastels!

For inspiration we've looked at paintings by Contemporary American artist Woody Jackson (also famous for his designs on Ben & Jerry's ice-cream containers!), admiring his effective use of bold colour and shape.

I knew we'd have fun with some great art this week! We completed our landscapes with oil pastels, choosing colours opposite to the expected for visual and emotional impact. We used cotton-buds and oil to blend and buff the pastels for solid fields of colour and a rich, painterly effect.
