40 min oil pastel study from life

Finally picked up my oil bar and oil pastel drawing from last weeks long pose @candidartstrust . It was so messy then that I had to leave it BUT it’s still slightly sticky even with some fixative on it

It was such an exciting piece to do and I’m happy with how the chest and face have this texture. It is a shame about the legs though BUT that’s a lesson I need to learn about application of oil bars

I’ve included some close ups of the better execution
