Painting Cherries with the Oil Sticks I made MONTHS Ago!

Hi friends! I like art supplies. I like to make them, I like to collect them, but most of all I like to use them! Today we are going to collage a canvas with the gel prints I made, and then we are going to paint on top of that with my DIY oil paint sticks!

We have so many options when it comes to media today that we are really spoiled for choice! With that bounty comes great confusion. What should I pick? What media is right for me? Can I do this project using my favorite medium? In today’s video, I will show you how I created this piece and talk about finding your perfect media and adapting a tutorial to fit the supplies you have. Enjoy the video!
