Your class was so beneficial..... When those creative urges hit me, smudge is the primary outlet of expression.   From what Shirley also shared is she is looking at mixing her smudge works with her other favorite medium photography!  That sounds intriguing Shirley!  Waiting to see what you come up with!

The MAGIC of the Oil Pastel Smudge technique

A finished landscape is shown on the left and the template used shown on the right.  If you were to use the same template with the same cut out images your landscape would look completely different!  That is what I love most about the technique.  We are all different, we all see our world, and portray it in a different way!  Smudge on my friends!
