Girl in a Big Hat - original oil pastel figurative miniature painting
This little tiny thing was fun and challenging to paint, especially since it is only 3.5 x 2.5" and I did it with unsharpened oil pastels. I purposely didn't sharpen them, as I think it makes the painting looser. I once had an art professor who said that he had a student in the class who was very tight and one who was very loose. I was the loose one and I still am. Sometimes, I think it's because I like to leave a lot unsaid - even in life. My husband might disagree. I really do think that's the basis for looseness. Mine, anyway. You've probably heard of artist trading cards - that's what this is. It's done on Colourfix paper. I've been doing bunches of these. The pose pleased me so much that I think I'll redo it in a larger size. Thanks so much for stopping by! Sold
