A colorful oil pastel drawing of a pizza with a thick crust. The pizza has a vibrant red sauce, melted cheese, and green basil leaves, all set against a yellow background. The texture of the drawing shows visible strokes and blending of colors, emphasizing the artistic style with an oil pastel drawing of a fruit plate with slices of yellow and red fruit, including raspberries and citrus slices, arranged on a decorative plate. The plate has a pinkish hue with green accents, and the background is a mix of blue and light colors, creating a vibrant and appetizing presentation.
