Yesterday I worked on two oil pastel paintings.  After reading the first chapter from artist Tom Browning's book Timeless Techniques For Better Oil Paintings I am already changing how I approach creating works in pastels and oil  pastels.  Once I begin painting with watercolors, acrylics and oils again, God willing, I will carry over what I have learned in Tom's book.
