Here is the finished image of my oil painting study. This practice is being done so I get used to the medium and various painting techniques. I've taught myself how to use pastels, now is the time to start getting back into oils. More small painting studies will be done before I get comfortable with the method. In my opinion, exploring and experimenting on your own are sometimes the best methods...just as a teacher has to let you go at some point in your study. You just might surprise yourself with your own results.
