Nashotah House 9x12 Oil Pastel on Canson Acrylic paper

Today we went out plein air painting at Nashotah House. Very windy & brisk but sunny. I liked all the angles on the roof.

I like the Sennelier, Holbein, Van Gogh & Xonex oil pastels. Craypas I don't like as much as they are too waxy and hard to build up color before paper gets loaded up.

I like acrylic paper because it holds up when I scrape back in. I like to "prime" the paper with a white oil pastel otherwise sometimes it's hard to get back to a lighter color.
