With oil pastel, it sort of unifies the color palette as it allows the red undertone to "peak" through the overlaying colors.<BR/>In this case though, I was using a gray scale color scheme. I did the red undertone anyway, as I wanted to add another element of color with out using pastel.<BR/>In the end, the final piece up close reveals hints of warm red glistening through the tree tops and at the base of the trunks.<BR/>My technique also involves scratching back into the surface of the piece, adding linear marks and lines. Using a color as a base emphasizes these areas for me.<BR/>Thanks for your question -Jennifer Phillipshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13668323141814274096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7875619683420726540.post-76082686534783936072008-09-02T20:35:00.000-07:002008-09-02T20:35:00.000-07:00Jennifer, Perhaps I missed your explanation, but ...Jennifer, Perhaps I missed your explanation, but why did you chose a warm red to tone your board before applying the monochromatic landscape in oil pastel? I love WIP's. Do more. Hope both eye and art finger are well and working.The Art of Kim Kincaidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11725289404334038843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7875619683420726540.post-11378200856208977412008-09-01T09:38:00.000-07:002008-09-01T09:38:00.000-07:00It ends up being around 3/4 of an inch thick.

Each one takes me about 2 plus hours.Jennifer Phillipshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13668323141814274096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7875619683420726540.post-77103921649045929292008-08-31T20:51:00.000-07:002008-08-31T20:51:00.000-07:00Wow, that framing process is really something.
