Priley Riley, Oil Pastel Drawing of a Bearded Dragon 2

For this piece, I started off by covering a wooden board with red acrylic paint (I did this because I wanted the red to show through my drawing and make it more interesting). I then drew my pet bearded dragon on the board using oil pastel. To finish the piece, I painted the background blue, because I wanted a bright and contrasting background, before adding varnish over the top and sides in order to fix the oil pastel (which makes sure that it won't come off).
