Hydrangea, oil pastel resist.


Gina is still giving me ideas in her sketchbook series, and I have known about this one but never tried it with oil pastels before.
On my desk is a bunch of dried hydrangea heads, the leaves are from my imagination. This then had some koh i noor ink/paint thrown over the top.
Fun and didnt take a lot of time and or thought which is good as I am tired after yesterday.
I have been having fun with the traditional verses I am finding in Voices 1 here is another.
A short Litany
From witches and wizards and longtail'd buzzards,
And creeping things that run in hedge bottoms,
Good Lord deliver us.
