Sunflower painting with Oil Pastel
Oil Pastel is a painting and drawing medium that is similar to pastels and wax crayons, as it consist of pigment mixed with a non-drying oil and wax binder. The surface of an oil pastel painting is therefore less powdery, but more difficult to protect with a fixative. Oil pastels provide a harder edge than "soft" or "French" pastels but are more difficult to blend.
No flower can lift one’s spirit like sunflower, these cheery bloomers are bright as the warm summer sun. Sunflowers are a symbol of happiness and optimism, they also represent longevity, love and loyalty.
