For this project I decided to do a sunset landscape. I saw a picture and really liked it so I used it for inspiration. I used matt board because it's a good platform for oil pastels. I blended with a paper towel at first so that I could layer the colors. I used paint thinner to blend the oil pastels even more. I used an exacto knife to scrape off some of the pastel on the tree and in the grass. I did this because I wanted to put Indian Ink in the cracks. It added the extra touch that it needed. I really enjoyed this project. It was really messy and smudges got all over the place and I had to go back and fix those.
