- This demonstration uses Canson Mi-Teintes textured paper A3 size. I chose a warm tone to contrast with the mostly cool tones that I am using
- Don’t worry if you do not have every exact colour, you can improvise and create your own blends
- I tape my paper to a tilted drawing table, this helps some excess pastel dust fall down. From time to time you may need to lightly blow away any dust build up (ensuring it is not near your cup of tea!)
- Keep kitchen paper, a cloth or baby wipes at hand to keep fingers clean to avoid muddy blending
- Assess your progress by standing back every so often to gauge if some areas need more work
- You can always add more detail or definition and tweak as you go along
- The most important thing is to relax and enjoy the process
