Being a creative person I am always doodling, sketching or drawing on things. I can’t help myself and if you are also a creative person you know exactly what I am talking about.

So during the Christmas break I decided to have some fun using oil pastels. They are cheap and very easy to use and a joy to blend the colours with. I enjoy the simplicity of using them compared to my oil paints which require a mini studio to use as I use oil painting for my larger pieces of work.

Oil pastels come in a range of different colours and brands. I purchased a mid range priced set from Faber-Castell.

I spent one afternoon designing some Christmas card and the below design was the design chosen to use for the first Emilia Rossi Christmas Greeting Card.

Do you have any artwork you enjoy making during the Christmas Holidays?
