Oil Pastel Color Study

Artist Statement:

This is a drawing of a picture of my friend Kianna's puppy sleeping. I used oil pastel to create everything, except for the grid behind it, which I used graphite pencil for. I chose this specific picture to draw because it looked very sharp and crisp, and also had interesting colors. This piece has color, and value, because it has varius shades of brown for the fur, and same for the blanket.

In this piece, there is a soft focus, because the oil pastel gives it that look.

The artwork doesn't really have a story behind it, I just took the photo because it was a good opportunity. This piece relates to my life, because I took the photo it is based on. If I could revise this piece, I would redo the background, becuase it doesn't match perfectly.
