This oil pastel is just an exercise. It was meant for me to find out about oil pastels.
reference photo below.
Oil pastels are not as smugeable as chalk pastels. I read on line that one method was mixing paint thinner with the pastel after it has been applied. This gave it the soft look. I used Turpenoid Natural. I don't think that this is the correct product as the container said it was just for cleaning brushes. I don't consider this piece finished as the colors need beefing up. I think it was fun to just play around with the medium and see how difficult it was to get it to look halfway decent.
