I love the mark making in oil pastels

I finished an oil pastel drawing but it was part of a collage- one part face, one part hair one part jumper. I was happy with the mark making in the face and hair but when I assembled it I still wasn’t satisfied or happy with it. Why? Because I made a balls of the composition. No matter how flimsy your paint or how shoddy your drawing is the composition can just mess it up. Not happy but happy to jumble it up again- that’s the beauty of collage.
