Today we are going to be looking closely at leaves and drawing all of the detail that we can see.
The word Observe means to look at something closely, so when an artist looks closely at something and draws it in detail, we call that, drawing from observation.
We are going to use a new kind of drawing tool today. In past lessons we have explored crayon, chalk pastel to draw. Today we will be using oil pastel.
Oil pastel is a kind of drawing tool. Each pastel is a stick, made of pigment (colored powder) mixed with a non-drying oil and wax. Oil pastels are like cousins to crayons.
You will notice that these beautiful drawing tools color on bright, smooth and creamy.
Supplies:
A variety of brown and tan 9x12 construction paper
