I have used portfolio oil pastels which are water soluble on this drawing and am really pleased with them as they really blend well and when water is added act like paints. Her head dress with all the flowers and hearts reminded me of what someone would wear in a carnival so fitting for this weeks mmm challenge. I am learning a lot of things at the moment hence the quote..if you think you have learned all there is to learn, then you havent even started...

Fab piece Lorraine. Always thought oil pastels would resist being mixed with water.....but this is living proof that they do !
