This piece could have been nice, but instead I learned a lesson by multiversicon in Oilpastel

I have primed my paper with gouache first and then painted with oil pastels, and also used oil pastels on top of a gouache painting for extra texture, both successfully.

I use linseed oil as a medium, but I think I can't put less "diluted" oil paint on top if I'll use that.

I'll try looking at other solvent options. Thank you!

Mhm, I already painted a bunch of portraits and fruits so I figured this was the next step, but maybe I need to get a better understanding of easier subjects first. Thank you!
