Squirrels by Chloe - Oil pastel

Having finished her paper mache Poison Bottle several weeks ago, Chloe has been busily working with oil pastels on coloured paper!  Take a look at the flying squirrel on the left --- by combining fine lines and delicately blended colour, she successfully conveys the soft, velvety texture of the little animal's fur.   The picture on the right is interesting too, with a range of contrasting values and textures, from the furry white of the squirrel to the hard dark lines of the branch.  Chloe's negative shapes are also well defined, and bring unity to her work.
