This time I applied watercolour washes, lines and dabs to the paper first and allowed the paint to dry. Then I applied oil pastel in spiral shapes and finally a partial layer of white oil pastel across the whole area. I then scraped into the surface with a derwent Artbar metal scraper. I like the depth of colour created by the various layers and the texture and mystery added by the layers of oil pastel; the effect is rather like looking through occluded glass to something beyond.
On reflection: this design could translate into layered textile work.
