when using oil pastel you work from light colors to darkest which is the reverse for oil paintings.
past two layers of colors, oil pastel starts to become harder to control/blend/turn to goop. depends on the brand how goopy it'll be tho.
learned how to make my own blending stumps.
the "wet on wet" technique for oil painting can also be used for oil pastel, especially for skies. layer white first before adding blue.
when you need pure white for clouds/snow, it's better to leave untouched white pastel, than put white on top of a dark color..
watercolor can be used in tandem with oil pastels safely. oil and water don't interact so they can't mess up each other.
