I wanted to expand on my quick sketches while still in a childlike mindset, so created these A3 portraits of myself and a friend in oil pastels. I find these portraits interesting as I usually struggle with the use of colour in my work, but decided to use colour to represent movement and depth. I stopped trying to be completely representational and decided to focus more on the experience of drawing. I used oil pastels as they allowed me to change colours more easily than when using paint and the resulting outcome looked like a child using crayons.
