In the past, it seems all the mediums I tried are pretty easy to handle. Whether it's watercolor, oil pastel, oil painting or digital paintings, I was able to just pick one up and use it without much of a struggle. Recently, I realized not all mediums behave the same (duh!). Conte and dry pastels are two that I struggled to get used to. They don't respond to pressure the same way, they don't blend the same way, and they are hell of a mess.
Oh well, next time I'll try them with a dry brush instead.
Pastel. 3hr

Saturday Figure Drawing - Eric
Need to watch the head size next time. It's always something that's out of proportion. Oh well, live and learn.
Watercolor, 2 sessions at 4hr/session.

Saturday Life Drawing - Nikki
Need to add more depth to the fabrics. One thing I noticed with oil pastel, if you tried to use it to tone the paper, regardless how little you use it, as soon as you press down hard to spread it across the canvass, it forms this thin layer that makes it hard for more oil pastel to stay on. I wonder if it's the oil or anything that does that.
Also, certain color seems to stay on better and harder to blend away than others. For example, the prussian blue is harder to blend away if I put it down on canvas first. I would always put down some other color, then lightly add in the prussian blues and blend them. On the other hand, cerulean blue is easy to blend, I can put it down first or later, and it'll smoothly blend in with the other colors. I wonder if this has anything to do with the amount of pigment in the stick.

It's always important to step back frequently, and check the drawing from a distance. If only I had done that during the sketch stage, I would've noticed a lot of the proportion mistakes.
Live and learn.
p.s. photos taken at different lighting, thus the last one appear darker and more yellowish.

Saturday Life Drawing Session 1
4 hour session. Trying to use watercolor as underpaint, and then use oil pastel on top of the watercolor.
