PART 2 P3 Ex 3: Material differences

 My aim is to recreate the atmosphere created by the tonal contrasts of the sole light.


I bought oil pencils thinking they were more controllable oil pastels.
But no, not the effect I was expecting.


Options: 

* brown ink to create a sepia-like affect
* dusting of chalk over watercolour pencil
* water-soluble marker ink
* white oil pastel with ink wash
* monochrome coloured pencil to show tonal contrast

Tests so far

Work in progress. The paper isn’t ideal for this amount of wet work as I didn’t keep to taped down.
Second version to come.
