Color Project

This was for the color project, and I drew a pear using oil pastel. (My color scheme was complementary.) I picked a pear for my final project because I like the way fruit looks in oil pastel and it's simple to do but looks very detailed and complicated. Oil pastel is good for blending and much easier to deal with than paint. 

The most successful aspect of this project was the shading/tints in the pear and the highlighting. Using certain colors and using certain strokes creates a rounded look and gives it more dimension. I also learned that the strokes are very important in creating a shape and that they have to be light enough to not see specifically but dark enough to cover the paper surface completely.
