    My version and crop of the boot sign in oil pastels, 8.5×5″, in a bit over 2hrs – I somehow lost track of the time with all the interruptions.

        Hey Christel, this is beautiful! You really captured the vibes on this one. Oil pastels the perfect medium!

        Wonder why no comments??? Oh! Yes, I found it on page 2 of the thread. Maybe this will raise it to the top and others will see it.

                I love this. Was hoping someone would do it. Nice job capturing the look of neon. That is not easy to do!

                    This one is a real challenge for several reasons (rendition of the neon light AND intricate position of the body AND… those hands)! And I’m still wondering if I should have a go myself… Maybe! LOL
                    One thing for sure: I would never dare to try it in OPs unless for a “in the spirit of”!
                    You did a nice job , Christel!

                                Thanks Heliosart, Tyree, EP, Kay and Barbara! That’s what I like and dislike about op’s – very high chroma!

                                    This reference makes for a very tricky drawing….twisted torso…hands…guitar….I was too chicken….but you pulled it off! The oil pastels were perfect for the colour needed in this. Really turned out well!

                                        It really looks like a neon light. Well done!
