Oil Pastels

These were done this afternoon. One of the advantages of Oil Pastels is how quickly they can be used. In  Fall Sunset, I roughed in the tree with a marker, drew the branches with a brown oil pastel that was then washed with Gamsol. The oil pastel was applied on top of this base. Several layers of varnish kept the oil pastel from 'muddying' the lower layers.
On the Rocks was laid in with brown oil pastel, the lower layers were protected by layers of varnish.
