Clouds and Forests

Normally I'm able to adapt to any art medium thrown at me, but I'm really struggling with oil pastels.
The pastels have no tip to them and are really hard for detailed work.
Apparently it's supposed to be pretty, but abstract.
I'm trying!

Clouds were actually pretty fun...I want to do more and get better at it, since I love staring at the clouds so much, I might as well figure out how to draw them!

My teacher wanted me to loosen up a little, so I loosed up with foliage, and I think it turned out pretty good!
I like the name the most, 'Incandescent Forest'
I followed a picture of a forest online, but only used a section of it and completely changed the coloring.
That's the beauty of being an artist.
It's how we see things, not necessarily how they really look.

Have a good week!

    I've never tried oil pastels before...they're difficult, huh? Well, you did a magnificent job with them! Hmm...I think I'll stick to watercolors ;)

      I really like the forest too! Sometimes I surprise myself haha.
      Yesssss, oh my word. It's do-able, but the layers are so tricky.
      Thank you though!
