Drawings in oil paint

I've always admired the drawings of Holbein, Hockney and Degas. These drawings were done in thinned oil paint on oil sketch paper. I like the technique where the head and hands are drawn in light and shade and the body rendered in a more linear style. I used the oil wash technique in many life classes years ago, inspired by Degas' essence (thinned oil paint) drawings.
