Silhouette” (Tofino Series) Collage and Oil Pastel, 9” x 12.” Artist: Colleen Sullivan Lusk. The first layer of this artwork is collage. I then added multiple layers of oil pastel. The fine lines are scratched into the layers by using a palette knife. Finally I added some definition and contour lines with Black oil pastel. This artwork is based on a photo I took at Comber’s Beach, Pacific Rim National Park Reserve last September
