Oil pastel sketch of seated figures

This oil pastel sketch, like the one yesterday, is based loosely on drawings from a book on medieval life.  The drawings were quite difficult to see, so I have had to work in a very loose way.  The figure on the left is seated behind the central figure, but I haven't quite managed to get it to work.

A quick oil pastel sketch

A quick oil pastel sketch, done from life.  The background was first painted with gesso and a little molding paste to give texture.
