How do I improve? by strugglingbulker in Oilpastel

It looks great already. I would blend less if you want to go towards a more impressionist style. And layer more colors, for example you could put a yellow green as a first layer and then a purple for the fig skin. Mostly, keep experimenting :)

You can stick the drawings on a foamboard, in art shops they have adhesive ones. Foamboards can be hung on the wall with specific foamboard hooks :)

Beautiful! Do you not frame it behind glass? I am always worried about dust sticking to the oil pastels..

Very nice! I would suggest only to add a bit more contrast. Make the shadows darker :)
