Description It's been a while since I've used oil pastels, this is my second attempt at a colour study of hands. The first one went a bit rainbow colours mad. Limited the colour palette a little more in this one.
I may come back to this and finish it off if I decide to pick it for my Drawing Composition module.

Hey, thanks a lot, a huge compliment.  
I read your blog post too, I think it's perfectly fine to not know what to say in such situations.  
Sometimes people don't want consoling or sympathy but just knowing you are there for them can be enough.

I would say work big, the picture above is A3.
Have good reference images and take note of colours lighting etc. I tend to exaggerate the colours.

I love everything about this piece.

To me, it seems the hands are desperately clutching at one another; as if one person is falling over a cliff or something.
