Awesome Cynthia! I just downloaded the Dutch Tulip fields...

Do these BIG CDeM - 4x6 feet or more!!! Take about the same amount of time and leave you with a massive storage prob, but the work would be so great! :0)

BEAUTIFUL! I LOVE the contrast between the tulips/stems and the black background...really makes the tulips stand out. OOOH YEAH--I also LOVE the quote by Albert Einstein! (The previous comment was from me but I forgot to sign in--sorry!)

I think its lovely and the background really sets the flowers off.....Lisa x

Cristina Marsi 08 Feb 2006

I think it is an excellent work. the background you used adds a lot of depth. I'm wondering about the highlights... do you manage to add them to base colours? my oil pastels (expecially white) somehow refuse to stick on the colour beneath.

Angie Waszkiewicz 01 Feb 2006

I really like these shades of pinks and greens together, especially on the black. They compliment each other well I think.

Kelly Barrett 01 Feb 2006

You handle the oil pastels with such skill and delicacy. the shape and softness of the tulips is very lovely. corrections are a challenge in oil pastels, but not impossible. Use a gum eraser lightly dipped(but not dripping!) in turpentine to gently lift some pigment. Then lightly coat the area to be removed with turpentine. let it soak a bit. then, gingerly scrap off with the dull edge of a palette knife or even a scapel, careful not to press the pigment into the paper or scratch off the surface of the paper. I've gone so far as to resort to thin 1 or 2 washes of white acrylic paint to cover the stained area of the paper when all of the colour can't be removed. Then, begin again with the correct colours or design. Practice this first, before trying it on a "final" piece.
