Description
Original from: HannahCombs 's beautiful photo: ViolinistThe lovely OIL PASTELS
done in strips. 20"x20". Took me about 6 hours.
It was done on white illustration board and I pasted the 3 strips on a 'black on black' board with spacing in between each strips.

This is incredible. I just went to an art workshop today and was got a very basic demonstration of oil pastel technique. At this point in my educational arc, I can't hardly imagine how this beautiful of a composition was done with them. I was having difficulties in blending colors together, and everything looks so "dirty" and muddy - how did you ever manage to keep this so clean? Do you clean your sticks after each stroke?
I also heard that using turpentine or turpenoid can yield some interesting blending effects, too, but haven't tried it yet. It that a technique you employ often?
I am fascinated. This is outstanding. I hope you have it for sale in a gallery somewhere where others can appreciate it in person.

I've been so absent from this site, I'm sorry for such a late reply. But for blending, I usually light my sticks with a lighter to soften the tip to prep it for better blending and I do wipe them down to keep them clean. Thank you

As a fellow oil pastel artist, I must say this is excellent! Truly, you are among the few who have mastered the medium.
Which brand did you use?

I hate to be pesky, but could you maybe describe your technique for blending you used in this? I have an oil pastel project on illustration board myself, and I would love to incorporate blending like this. Your work is fantastic.

You've pretty much nailed everything there. You're playing with light, darkness, shape and colour, then coating it with rich soul.
