Self Portrait in Oil Pastel

There is a self portrait themed show coming up at the gallery, so I thought I’d try it in a new medium. I had some oil pastels and played with them on a black canvas. It was a challenge and I love how it turned out!

Look at that! You totally spaceradished yourself! It’s a really fun, colorful self-portrait. Well done! I find oil pastels difficult to use, but you made good use of them, and got so many layers of color. Cool!
