I posted about this piece previously but I've finished stage 2, adding the first layer of oil pastel, and was wondering what ya'll think.
The piece is for my mom and she wants his face indistinct like that. For the final layer, I think I need to lighten it up some. I kept it fairly dark because I wanted a good contrast with the figure's brightness but I think I went too dark. I also think I need to soften the outline around Jesus and the horse, to give it more of a glow effect. I'm also going to add more cloud effects, punch up the cloud factor. Otherwise I think it's *pretty* good. I wouldn't say I like it (the subject matter and the color palette is not exactly for me) but my mom seems to, and that's the main concern.
Do y'all have any further suggestions about how to improve it? I'm curious to hear.
