@Brialinni Dear Brianlinni I have just started trying pastels (although am not happy with the results as yet-I need more practise and ideas) and would love to see some of your floral and fauna work - have you got a website please? I am very interested in your technique. I appreciate your comment and wonder if I should get panpastels do you you use them for your backgrounds? Thanks very much. Best wishes Marie kleinmth@yahoo.fr

you can make that darkening work FOR you too. I do alot of floral and fauna work, I'll lay down my backgrounds then spray, then and select a few things in the back ground and brighten them. the result is a 3D effect. Now granted I work primarily with hard to medium pastels. ie Nupastels, Holbeins, a few select yarkas, but I'm aware of what the effects are and use to my advantage.

for fixating pastels, i.e. you can fixate one layer from another so colors won't blend when you add further layers, and you can use fixatives on your finished work. but I don't really like fixatives as colors may become dull and darker after using them.
