Oil Sticks

So excited yesterday when my oil sticks finally arrived.  It has been more than 20 years since I've worked with oil paints and have never used oil sticks before.

The colours are vibrant and so easy to work and blend.  I enjoyed the different ways I could use the sticks, from drawing to using a pallet knife and fingers.

It has been wonderful focusing back on my art and I'm trying not to be too critical on myself.  I acknowledge that I am starting out of a journey of development and need to keep practicing.  Painting again gives me a sense of freedom.

I've always loved the impressionist style of painting.  Today I tried to get in touch with my Manet.
