        Hello oil pastelists and welcome to the July oil pastel challenge and chat thread!

        Feel free to post WIPs or ask for feedback. Work must be completed in oil pastel, but you’re welcome to post preliminary sketches etc as you go.

        When posting please tell us the size, support, and brands of oil pastels used!

        All images are my own.

            Yay, a kangaroo!

            I can almost promise to attempt that kangaroo before August is out :)

                Thanks to you both. Very happy to contribute, and love showing off the ‘big boy’ that shared our place for many years.

                        I’ve just noticed not all images loaded. I’ll add the remaining 5 I think ASAP.

                        I’m in my sick bed, and did this A4 draft on sketch paper of an image I know I loaded. Hard to draw with everything held in the air,

                            Sorry to hear that you are in the sick bed and hope you’ll get better soon:heart:
                            I just couldn’t resist the kangaroo and to make it slightly more complicated I added part of the tree landscape. A4

                            PS – my daughter isn’t very impressed with my painting:(

                                Hee, hee, your daughter may not like it but I do! He’s an irresistible subject! I think you’ve sketched him out nicely, and captured his posture perfectly. :)

                                    Darn! Now if I finish my kangaroo it’ll have to exist beside the high standard of Christel’s masterful animal paintings :(

                                        I do :) you have captured him. He was a cheeky little blighter.

                                            Thanks Christel, long slow road back I think. But … You’ve got that friendly glare so well, and he was a bit lonely out in rhe paddock by himself.

                                                    Christel,
                                                    I like your kangaroo and the change of background which gives more contrast to the subject.
