This table with two series of 4 images per sketch show my favorite process when I use oil pastels for small plein air studies. I carry a selection of thick paper or board pieces which are primed with oil colour with me. On site I choose which piece I would like for the subject. I use those nice color shapers for oil pastels and in this case the tip of old tweezers to scratch in the color to bring back the underground and to add texture. On the left there is an old farmhouse in Burgundy with the laundry outside and on the right there is an old decaying beach bar or disco in Espinho,Portugal. Both sketches were done in Caran d’Ache Artists Neopastels
