Wassup hivers! It's me again. I was a bit busy lately because of my school projects but today and from this day on I think I'll have much vacant time enough for me to use in writing my blogs here in hive. Cross fingers.
For my first post in this year, let me present to you my another oil pastel portrait from a photograph reference You can also check out my previous post about oil pastel portrait. The night after I created the that artwork, I decided to continue experimenting which happens to this portrait that I am presenting to you hivers. I finished making this on 2020 but I was too lazy to post this so I know, it has been way long over due but I hope you would still checl this out. So, without a further ado, dive in and I'll show you.

First, I made an outline using my pencil and then I started tracing it using the #12 Brown oil pastel and tried to blend the colors in the face area.
Then, proceed to the neck area and worked on the shadow and then started coloring her black hair.
The specific part of the portrait which I immensely found challenging the cloth that wrapped her hair because there are so much going on in that area but I also find it enjoyable and fun to do.
Lastly, I picked silver as its background color. Viola! Here is the oil pastel portrait entitled as "Woman of Color"
