Seven Backgrounds in Seven Days - Day 5


It's day 4 of the Jennibellie challenge -
Today I used pastels, both oil pastels and PanPastels; mainly because I never do, so it added to the challenge. I discovered by accident that if you draw first with a nice soft sticky oil pastel in white and then smooth on PanPastel over the top, the PanPastel sticks more to the oil pastel giving a nice two-tone effect. You can see this clearly on the pink paper, bottom right. The pink swirls were first done in white oil pastel and then pink PanPastel was rubbed over the top.
