I was doubtful at first, of using pastels. I have used them before and found them difficult. The lack control I find quite difficult to deal with. It's difficult to erase marks you have already made. This means you have to think a lot in advance about what you want you want to achieve. I did however enjoy the vibrant colours you can make. I discovered that the reds and yellows on colder blues and greens create a very strong and interesting contrast. A good effect for capturing colour and somehow warmth and heat.
