Nativity scene


My wonderful wife got me some Oil Pastels for Christmas, so I had to jump right in and try them. I’m new to the oil type pastels so this is a little rough. I used 10" x 15" 124 LB rough watercolor paper. What I disliked about them is the same thing I liked. By that I mean they are big and balky, that makes getting fine detail at least for me impossible. On the other hand I want to loosen up and create some art that is not so tight. This scene was drawn from life using our Nativity Scene in natural light. They are glazed porcelain figures Joseph is about 10" tall. I did not do them Justice.
