Hi dear Steemians! Today, I would like to share a tutorial with the description of my method on how to paint calla lillies using oil pastels.
Tools and Materials
- Buncho oil pastels
- A good quality artblock that is durable
- Tissue to clean your fingers in case you use the smudging technique
- A 2B pencil to draw
Step by Step Tutorial
![P_20190406_011559_HDR.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/640x0/https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmVXwreykm7Em1rZwR2PRcnSFMD9Hz8rBWvGF493QZGqwJ/P_20190406_011559_HDR.jpg)
First of all, I drew a basic shapes of two calla lillies with a normal 2B pencil.
![P_20190406_012238_HDR.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/640x0/https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmNkzTD86Mic4DXCCWj3gX5TYGFvVRFvedtYa59GpcDn4M/P_20190406_012238_HDR.jpg)
Then, I started my painting with the lightest colour I picked to use which is white. I painted it on the highlight areas to protect them in advance. I am not sure if you can see it in the picture but I am attaching it anyway :D
![P_20190406_012634_HDR.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/640x0/https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmaEQd64Tva9VK61tRpZwa4fiwHz1QNCdXKmvQomGNt3n8/P_20190406_012634_HDR.jpg)
Next, I added some yellow as a base from the sepal all the way to the peduncle areas and the edges of the stems.
![P_20190406_013118_HDR.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/640x0/https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmQadX2hPNNQqyE31gmhUXHYxox29Z9XTrkc6T8c6nk7xH/P_20190406_013118_HDR.jpg)
Then, I painted some light green on the middle areas of the parts where I painted yellow earlier. I also added some of the green underneath the petals.
![P_20190406_014111_HDR.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/640x0/https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmPQWmnFrL2yto3pQHUnc1CToFaKTD74f9W9gjaKtRFax4/P_20190406_014111_HDR.jpg)
I added another green which was darker than the previous one to emphasize further on the green areas. I also added more yellow on the edges of the stems of the flowers to create mild highlights.
![P_20190406_021504_HDR.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/640x0/https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmegzy6vCBUFRa77ABsQrWz2QdPE6uP21tFs1VE12xnjJf/P_20190406_021504_HDR.jpg)
Then, I began to paint the flowers using the lightest pink that I have.
![P_20190406_022016_HDR.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/640x0/https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmW7SYQcXY9fy4nArAuZiQ1HfM9Fyt4q198WUeTJnHkJEG/P_20190406_022016_HDR.jpg)
I added the rose pink to add more colour and vibrance to the flowers.
![P_20190406_022718_HDR.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/640x0/https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmNkh5ZW1ZqNQjabtzE5DmwP6vk3aMrxW1oZR9TjLZwLcE/P_20190406_022718_HDR.jpg)
I painted the darkest pink that I have to add some shadows on the flower petals.
![P_20190406_023551_HDR.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/640x0/https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmeKps7CA4MUFQgEHXBrTyM74iR4SafQpVrNsUbW3NguGZ/P_20190406_023551_HDR.jpg)
Then, I added some sand yellow colour to create some light areas. I thought that it might be too dull if I use white alone to do it. I also added some red to create more shape and add to the shadows on the flowers.
![P_20190406_023945_HDR.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/640x0/https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmQxcwwj22iUJMdKmwyVHAxQAWUQkvM6L6Jab2WnTawZ8Y/P_20190406_023945_HDR.jpg)
The red wasn't enough for the shadows, hence, I painted a small amount of black and purple and blended them into the other colours with some pink and red.
![P_20190406_030415_HDR.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/640x0/https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmPAEMuR6tPxJQRjTvNn36FvRYXefNeehhR3b8354fhA9M/P_20190406_030415_HDR.jpg)
I added some maroon and red on the flowers to balance up the light and the dark colours. I also added some golden brown on the stem and sepal areas to add some shadows.
![P_20190406_032306_HDR g.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/640x0/https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmQo1jSSs2a2hLaKtdK8S1ZJ6vDLgZCdnZ9b7cL6qAuy2G/P_20190406_032306_HDR%20g.jpg)
I made some minor adjustments like adding more green and yellow on the stem. I also added white on certain areas on the flower. Lastly, I painted some almond green (whitish green) and two different shades of light blue on the background. I blended them by going back and forth with the colours to mix them well. I chose to add the almond green around the flowers instead of going all the way with the blue shades so that the reds of the flowers will stand out a little more especially the edges. This is the finished painting. I hope that you enjoyed reading my post and have a great day/evening ahead xx
