TRUST YOUR GUT

OIL PASTEL LANDSCAPE
ADVANCED 2-D ART
oil pastel on black charcoal paper

Senior Samantha Tun,
the lone ranger in this 3rd year level class last year,
had to find a gorgeous photo of a landscape and blow it up onto an 14" by 17"paper,
then draw/paint it in oil pastel.
She did a glorious job with her color choices and transitional areas.
I especially enjoyed her rendering of the wood pier.
Here is Sam below checking proportions and balance as she builds the piece.
All my 2-D kids are required to do this before they turn in a composition.
Do they all do it?
No.
But I encourage them to.
Your gut never lies.
It will tell you from a distance if something feels off.
They have to learn to trust their inner artist.


Here is the proud creator showing off her work.

  1. what I love most is seeing the wear on the boards of the pier ... the variation in value feels so true
