Strathmore Visual Journal Workshop Week 2

This is week 2 of the workshop.  http://www.strathmoreartiststudio.com/   We were to add shadow with charcoal pencil and color with oil pastels.  Then a wash of gesso.  I don't think I watered down my gesso enough.  I felt like I re-colored it and I lost some of the shadow effect because the charcoal just didn't want to go over the layer of gesso.  But I do like the effect in some areas, like the eyes in the upper left.
