Life Drawing 6th November

Life drawing went pretty well today, we used oil pastels & pencil. I'm not usually any good with oil pastels but today was an exeption. I went for yellow, peach & black for 2 of my compositions & Sky Blue & Blue for my other, blended with white. There were also a few mistakes made today.
