Here is a study I did recently of a famous Degas.
I'm including a copy of the original work for comparison.
I found that Degas captured some really nice delicate tonal changes that define form. Particularly on the dancer's face.
This proved a difficult thing to emulate when working with Oil Pastel on a small scale. Nevertheless I feel my attempt was moderately successful.
