Description
I had no idea what category to put this under since it is just the pastels I used for a contest. I put them in the shape of the numbvers 5 and 6, but it is the symbols in Japanese. link to the original art here [link] and link to the contest is here [link]Related content

how neat!! i do see a gray but try this on a scrap sheet of paper. take the black and lay down a little bit then come back over it with the white and smudge it with your finger. and there is a lovely gray!! experiment with all your colors and it's amazing how few you actually need to create a picture!!
that's a nice set of oil pastels by the way. since you like working with these, try soft pastels. i know i'm addicted!!!!

I probably would have tried that, but sadly I read "no gray" after I uploaded my picture.
Thank you, I don't know much about art, but I picked a group of pastels at an art store that felt good and smooth. Next time I will go, i will get soft ones! thanks

i have had no art training. like you i picked up a set of pastels about 20 yrs ago and can't get enough!! don't worry about using the gray, we live and learn and in my case usually make the same mistake again!!

That is what history is all about, repeating mistakes! Starting my next piece, but since I get distracted very easily I don't know how long it will take

Hmm, interesting. You could have put this in the scraps if you wanted to. Is that a grey next to the orange?
