Art elective Project Preliminary research

My experience with the pastel was cool. Its thick like a paste kind of. I like the way the colors pop they look real bright. I know i have to practice, but practice makes perfect. I wish that I could have used more colors but what I've chose to draw or color in witht he pastel it really on required the reddish color. I know that I have to put pressure on the pastels to acheive a darker color. And the same if i wanted a lighter color. I like The pastels overall.
