PAINTING (The Use of Oil Pastel - Dry Medium)

Painting is the act of applying paint, pigment, color or other related medium on a surface. 

In art, the term painting describes both the act and the result of the action.

However, painting can be done using wet or dry media.

Examples of wet media include the following;

Oil paint, Acrylic Paint/Poster colour, Water colour etc.

While dry media are;

Colour pencil, Oil and Chalk pastel, Wax crayon, Pen, Marker etc.

In painting, the focus could be on; Still life, Life or Nature. Any of these can be achieved through either observational or the use of reference(s).

The images attached to this write-up are paintings of fruits done by my KS4 Art and Design students, using reference.
