Water soluble oil pastels as a background

 
I love my water-soluble oil pastels, I use them all the time to lighten up a painting that has gone to dark. I have not used them for a background yet, so I thought I would lay some colors down and go from there. I could not use my pens, so no sharp lines. The only markers that worked were the water-soluble brush tip markers. Pencils mostly just digged into the oil. Inktense blocks and watercolor painted on with a brush was the best way to do shading and shadows.
If I use the oil pastels for a background again it will be for a painting that does not need sharp lines.
