Another Van Gogh-style ATC

ATC: VanGogh Swap III — 2.5" x 3.5" oil pastel on canvas paper

I’ve been in a bit of a drawing slump and fighting a cold, so not much art is getting done these days. Here is another Van Gogh-style card from the swap I mentioned on my last post. While I tried acrylic paint on the last card, this one was done with oil pastels.

I hope you are all staying well and drawing happily! Thanks for stopping by!

awesome job Mellanie! I especially love your use of green in the face and beard, and the lack of detail on the jacket.

very cool 🙂 hope you’re feeling better soon!

Your Van Gogh’s are excellent Mellanie. Very lifelike. Hope the cold is not dragging you down too much. Lots of bugs around at this time of the year unfortunately.

Thanks all! I had such a blast using oil pastels on such a small area. Toothpicks are a must.

  Thanks Pascal. It’s been so long since I’ve done these. I think I’ll try some more soon.
