Peacock

 Learning to draw a peacock using oil pastels is a vibrant and creative experience that combines technique with imagination. The peacock's elegant shape and colorful feathers make it an ideal subject for practicing blending and layering with oil pastels. Start by sketching the outline of the body and tail feathers, paying attention to the intricate eye-like patterns. Use bold strokes to apply shades of sapphire, blue, green, white and black to capture the richness of the peacock's plumage, blending colors smoothly to create a luminous effect. Adding details, like the feather highlights and the eye-catching patterns, helps bring the artwork to life. This process enhances children’s skills in color theory, texture, and shading while fostering a sense of artistic satisfaction.
