Pink Water Lily

- by Melissa Tobia

This week's theme: Not Just For Barbie

The colour pink is a favorite of many little girls. Pink is so well liked that it can be found on girl's things from toys to backpacks. We so often see it in the of the world of little girls that we forget that pink is so much more than Barbie and My Little Pony.


Art: Pink Water Lily by Artist Melissa Tobia
I've always had a thing for water lilies and to me, there is just something about them that is just so fascinating. Using a mixture of soft pastel sticks and CarbOthello pastel pencils on Strathmore Velvet Gray Charcoal Paper, I originally created this piece as an understudy for a possible oil painting. This piece was the first of many water lily pastels that I created and got the chance to explore technique, the medium and the paper.
