I have only recently started to use oil pastels. I use Caran d'Ache Neopastel oil pastels, but I've already got my eye on the Senneliers as well ;-) Freue mich auf Eure Kommentare, ganz gleich ob auf Deutsch oder Englisch :-)

Oooooh! This one has such a strange, magical quality to it ... such an eerie texture.

I'm really enjoying your OPs!

Thanks, e-j,

developing the texture was actually big fun. For the mountains I used Liquin "Impasto" (by Winsor and Newton) which I applied with the palette knife.
