Medium
Pastel - Oil Pastel On Tinted Paper
Description
An impressionists portrait I've sketched in oil pastels on tinted honey coloured paper, a style after the impressionists, this is of a French lady in a blue straw dress hat for the summer surrounded by pink flowers and roses, this was an impressionist picture, as the impressionists did their portraits during the great movement of those times in the 1860's to the end of the century when they broke away from the classical art of the rule of paint and were pioneers of the use of light and shade, with bright colour splashes and brush strokes, this is a fine example of this kind of loose work within their criteria of painting, I studied Impressionism with enthusiasm at college and produced a lot of good works on the subject and receiving a diploma of an A level standard, this is one of my achievements during that time simply done roughly with brightly coloured oil pastels, this is not a copy of a specific impressionist Artist's work but my own design taken from research and study of the work of the impressionists in France at the time during the 1860's this would make a lovely greeting card or room picture, looks great as a throw cushion and T-shirt
