Wax pastel - Wax pastel painting

Imagine a cozy reading corner filled with an old, open book surrounded by pastel-colored candles and potted plants. The book's pages, illuminated with soft watercolor washes, invite the viewer into a world of stories. Use techniques like wet-on-dry for defined edges and layering to create depth in the background. Wax pastels add texture to the candle surfaces, while a light gouache white wash highlights the book's spine. Grunge textures on the wall evoke nostalgia, creating a warm atmosphere that transports viewers to their favorite literary escapes.
