Oil Pastel on Clayboard

I started this drawing simply to see how well Ampersand's Clayboard handles Oil Pastels. Turns out the only brand that works well on Clayboard is Sennelier. The Clayboard sucks up the oil from every other brand but Sennelier's by nature are so greasy they're the only ones that worked with the board.

Since this was intended to be a throwaway piece I didn't bother with creating a good composition. Now I wish I had because I kind of like the horse I drew. Oh well.

Anyway...if you enjoy working in Oil Pastel and own Sennelier brand check out Clayboard as a surface for your next project.
