Yesterday I found a painting of a cow on pinterest that I liked, so I tried to reproduce it.  I first drew a rough sketch of the face and features (feels like a miracle that I can even do THAT!  I didn&#8217;t even use the grid I usually do to ensure proportions are accurate!).  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then I added some brown, and discovered that I needed a layer of white pastel underneath the color so it will spread more easily.  By adding colors and mixing them and adding more, eventually I got it to where I liked it.  Lastly I put in the blue background (mixing blue and white), blending that with my finger to get the smoother finish.  Hooray for a cute cow!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"767\" height=\"1024\" src=\"http:\/\/braindamagedrawings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Cow-White-Blue-Background-767x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-210\" srcset=\"http:\/\/braindamagedrawings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Cow-White-Blue-Background-767x1024.jpg 767w, http:\/\/braindamagedrawings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Cow-White-Blue-Background-225x300.jpg 225w, http:\/\/braindamagedrawings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Cow-White-Blue-Background-768x1026.jpg 768w, http:\/\/braindamagedrawings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Cow-White-Blue-Background.jpg 1048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 767px) 100vw, 767px\" \/><figcaption>oil pastel on mixed media paper, 9&#215;12&#8243;<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>To purchase this piece contact BrainDamageDrawings@gmail.com<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve been continuing my experiments with the oil pastels and creating animal portraits with color.
