This month we are playing with oil sticks and fabric, and our theme is birds.
What are oil sticks? They are oil paints in a stick form. You can apply the paint directly on your surface from the stick like a crayon, or you can use a palette knife to pick up some paint and smoosh it on your surface. Unlike oil pastels, oil sticks dry completely, and act just like oil paint - which means they take awhile to finally fully dry. They are fun to use, but are very messy (at least when I use them) and smell a little funny.
For this spread I started as normal - with papers and gesso. Then I oil stick-ed my heart out. For the fabric, I made a little nest of threads and fabrics, and then added my birds on top.
I hope you enjoy this month's videos!
