Many thanks Christine, Spencer and Faye. So much appreciated. Spencer I’m wondering if the baby oil would work with oils. It smell so nice and doesn’t have any harmful effects. It may be worth a bash.

Sorry but that went off before I had finished. Thalia I was saying that you only use a tiny drop of baby oil but it makes a huge difference. Thank you so much for your lovely comments George, Anne, Thalia, David, Shaun, Heather and Alan.

Experimenting with different surfaces for using oil pastel. Didn’t like this black, mixed, media paper but have experimented with a tiny amount of baby oil for blending and find the paper ok now. Oil pastels and polychromes pencils for details 10” x 12”.
