Comment on “Little Hawk” – Oil Pastels Art by Sara P

The painting looks so natural that i thought it is a photo of hawk taken by camera. This could be an ordinary piece of work for those who don’t have aesthetic sense but i do acknowledge what you portrayed in this painting. I am trying to find out the message behind the sharp eyes of the hawk.

[...] my Drawing 2 class. I enjoyed working on this one very much as I was able to try out a variety of oil pastel techniques. Oil pastel art is different from other drawing mediums. It isn’t quite like crayon or [...]

Beautiful done.! As you said getting the reflexion of the camera in the sunglasses must be so challenging. I know you will understand what I was talking about in my post.

Dear Eric;
I’ve red what a wonderful life you are having and saw your beautiful paintings. Congratulations, it is lovely to read the words of a man who acknowledge and admire his wife as you do and also works and live passionately. I’ve been serching about more oil pastels techniques when I found your blog. I’ve been a pastels artist for a number of years now and had to switch to oil pastels due to alergy problems. So, I’m in love with them but finding that it is a very challenging medium to work with. I’ve tried several brands already and as you say Sennelier is the best. I’m also working as you suggest. First loading painting with Cray-Pas Specialist and later using my Sennelier for the last finish. But I’d like to ask you if you can give me some tips at the time you have to put some small details. Because that is what is frustrating me sometimes. When you already have a color as a base it is very difficult to put another one on top without loosing it. I really love your work. Is it your self-portrate the image on top? If yes, that is a fantastic work. Very well done!. Keep going and Happy painting.!
Thank you.
Marieve.
