This is a colored pencil and oil pastel piece I did as my first real commission. It's 18x24 inches, Polychromos colored pencil. I hope you guys like it. It took FOREVER

Great work! Looks like a lot of work and lots of details. No wonder it took so long. Love it.

I like this a lot, Jessie. It’s really good to look at.

This is beautiful, Jessie! I'm thrilled to see another oil pastel artist here. This does look like a lot of detail work, lots of careful blending. 18x24 - wow! Bet you chewed up some OP's on this one.

Great work! More, please.

I thought it was a platter till I read the description. Well done.

Lovely. Lots of layers I'm sure.

Thank you, so much!

Lovely. Lots of layers I'm sure.

Thank you! Yes, oh so many layers. I'm so glad I learned about blending out CP with gamsol. Total game-changer for me.

This is wonderful, Jessie! There's a lot of work in this. I love the intricacy of the border.

Thank you! That border was the bane of my existence some days. I almost had a mini-breakdown when I got done shading it initially and then realized there wasn't enough contrast and I had to do the whole thing yet again. Worth it in the end, though!

Holy wow! This is crazy great! I can SEE the time in this. All the subtle blends and shadow. It's really impressive, and it's a great big size too. I'm sure your client was willfully pleased! Very amazing.

Very nice work. Coloured pencil and oil pastels - that's the second unusual and interesting combination of media that I've seen on here today.
