Working with Oil Pastel over Acrylic


I am trying layering the oil pastels over bright acrylic underpainting so as not to have to layer so much oil pastel. In this painting I treated the paper with a sand medium and then painted with acrylics for an underpainting. I then add some oil pastels and I could easily scrape back through to colors underneath. I am working on focusing on one or two elements when working with abstractions, and this painting is about color and texture.
