Mexican mask

This is an oil pastel painting on Canson Mi-teintes pad 8x11in after a mexican mask from my husband's collection of ethnic masks.

Mixed media Hindu Statue

I sketched this in Derwent tinted charcoals and sanguine, sepia pencils and added some very dry almost chalk like oil pastels bought in India.It's a Strathmore pad drawing 11x14in.For the challenge on Inspiration all around us where I submitted my own picture.

Mask from China

Derwent Tinted charcoal, sanguine and sepia on Canson MI-teintes pad 8x11in.

First time working with tinted charcoal, rather hard, the pigmanet is not very vivid, not what I expected, anyway.I guess it works best in combination with sanguine and sepia.I have only 6 colors,  but really beautiful are the green and lavender.
