I love how you’ve blended the colors. Especially the light in the manger.
Great job!
I can never get the hang of pastels. I seem to want to layer it too thick. What’d you think?

In the videos blending always looked so smooth and effortless. That wasn’t my experience so maybe layering more might help. I love painting with acrylics and watercolors. Oil pastels is completely different, maybe I’ll get the hang of it after a while.
Lovely colors!
I love everything about this. The subject matter, the use of color, especially with the light in the stable and the stars overhead.
I see this as a quiet moment with this little family before all the visitors showed up to welcome the Prince of Peace. Love it.
