OIL PASTELS - Try it at home!

Step By Step Instructions (fire)

1. Use the yellow oil pastel to first color the fire edges.

2. Then use orange to create the same fire shape, but lower than the yellow edge.

3. Next do the same with the red oil pastel. Draw the same fire shape but lower than the orange edges.

4. Then with the yellow oil pastel, go back over all the colors. This will smooth out the texture and blend all the colors together.

5. To do the background we switched the rule, and used the darker color (red) first. That’s fine, it’ll just give you a different (darker) result. Use the red oil pastel to quickly color in the background.

6. Then use orange (or yellow) to smooth and blend the red.

That’s it! Now experiment with it by trying different colors and see how it turns out.
