Wax pastel - Wax pastel painting

Envision an elderly woman sitting by a crackling fire, sharing stories with children gathered around her. Soft pastel colors reflect the warmth of the flames and the gentle glow on her face. Transparent watercolor layers create depth in her traditional attire, adorned with intricate patterns. Techniques like splattering enhance the textures of the woven blanket draped over her lap. Wax pastels add richness to the children’s expressions, captivated by her tales. A delicate gouache white wash highlights the intimate atmosphere, evoking nostalgia for storytelling traditions in the 1980s
