Playing with Oil pastels. I wanted a quick project and although I will not be following the Louise Fletcher tutorials anymore (I ain’t paying £845) her idea of masking off the paper gave me this idea. Jackie I hope that I have not done too much harm to this pretty cottage!!

This is such a creative idea! Well done! Do you think it would work to keep the masking tape on and draw over it, and then remove it, as it was done in the course? That way, the pencil lines are avoided (but you run the risk of tearing the paper on tape removal).
I have no idea how to work with oil pastels, but, from a technical pov, the shadows on the roof are the other way round. Those bumps which needed to be highlighted, are darker in the drawing, thus giving the sense of dents. And I would add some colour to the wall, so that it is not paper white.
This is quite a difficult image to render in any medium... so I tip my hat to you two who tried it. Very well done.
@monikozi - this is jackie's (30 diamonds something) handiwork.
@30pics4jackiesdiamond - jackie, you are getting better and better everyday. and so brave to try on new media. never heard of oil pastel. and monika's comments, my thoughts as well. aces!
@monikozi@summerfield not Jackie’s work based on the narrative! I do like how you have broken this up which makes it a very interesting piece. Monika has given some good advice. You are much braver than I to attempt this in the first place!
@monikozi it ‘twas me Sue.
I did remove the masking tape, ripped the paper then added the lines to give the window effect. The white walls are white oil pastels but as you can see it doesn’t show so will need to perfect the art of blending. All a bit of an experiment. Thank you for our comments.
@summerfield@grammyn@30pics4jackiesdiamond yes I confess it was me. I must ty and remember to sign off with my name. If you read my response to Moni I did try a few things but obviously the skill of using oil pastels need perfecting. Heyho!! Sue x
@wakelys Sue this turned out really nicely. Creative idea to block it. Oil pastels are fun to work with and yes the white does not show up when used on light or white paper.
