This painting, which I'm doing with oil sticks; yes, those really juicy - but tough to get details with - oil sticks (but they certainly encourage painting in a loose manner). I am really enjoying working on this painting and will probably pull out the painting knives. I've used mostly R&F Pigment Sticks, which I think are the kings of the oil stick world. My drawing Sketch for Josie on the Sofa is the inspiration for this one.
If you have a chance, stop by my oil pastel blog to see what's going on there. Thank you so much for visiting Hackberry Street Studio!

Tango Hug - original oil figurative painting
For this 7 x 5" painting on Gessobord, I used oil sticks, which are oil paint in stick form. They are soft - at least the R&F, which I love - and not sharpened at all, so the result is a sort of "messy" painting. It's much more relaxed than most of my work and I just decided to leave it that way - gotta let go sometime, right? R&F is famous for its encaustics, but their pigment sticks are luscious and are fun to use with a palette knife, too. Give them a try!
This time of year, my attention has to be shared with my yard and the seemingly hundreds of plants that need to be planted. And then there are the dandelions - well no ranting, I promise, but I could, for sure! So, because of my garden, I'm posting during the wee hours of Wednesday. So, off to bed, now - thanks so much for stopping by!
