New portraits

Here are some more recent self portraits, working with oil pastel again. Was trying to experiment with colour and texture, and getting out of my comfort zone by using colours I would normally avoid, was fairly happy with how they went.

Nudes

I recently had an urge to unearth my oil pastels, they're so fun to use. Decided to draw some nudes, which I haven't done in a while.

More yupo

More playing with yupo paper at the beginning of the year while on holiday in Victoria. Decided to paint the gum trees since we were surrounded by them. I like the second one the best as it got rained on a little, and created a lovely texture.
