First Pastel painting- using Linseed Oil with Oil Pastels

This is my first painting. I decided to take a picture of a friend lying against a table to help me start my project. It was also good to help me experiment using oil pastels. I used them along with linseed oil. The problem with using them together was that the oil stained the paper and left marks. In a way this reminded Anna Francis of industrialization, due to the workers clothes.
I found that their were things that went good with this painting however. I found that pushing more with the oil pastels ontop of each other made it more heavier. I could also try experiment more of making a shadowy effect.
