Oil Pastels in sketchbook


I thought that I would try this out using some cheap dollar store oil pastels that I have. I made a zentangle of a flower some time ago and like the motif so I created another coloured zentangle using the oil pastels. Then I smeared odourless mineral spirits on the drawing. It took quite some time for the sketch to dry in my sketchbook but it finally did.





I liked using the mineral spirits on woodless pencil much better as it makes the lay down look much more painterly. I haven't got a picture yet but will take one later and post.


My dad has finally decided to take the morphine so he feels a bit better and I feel a bit better too. It is easier for me to see that he is not in pain when I visit.
