The right support helps. Try ampersand pastelboard. I use many layers in OP, so take your time and start with the most transparent colors over a white board. Good luck!

Thank you all for your kind words.
I don't know about a master, but after 4 or 5 OP works I got a good rhythm going and figured out my favorite tools, supports, etc.
Shouko, good luck with your oil pastel pictures, I hope you find what works for you

You are wonderful to be able to draw such a picture with oil pastel.
I began to draw the picture with oil pastel in October, so I don not have such skill.
Watching your picture, I came to want to challenge realism.

I have to say every single picture you upload is as beautiful as the others, you truly are a master of oil pastels.
