Been working with a new medium these last couple of weeks. There's something about cats that calls for pastels and pencils instead of watercolors.
The great thing about pastels is that you can brush away the pastel crystals if you change your mind about something. With watercolor, if you change your mind about something, you usually have to start all over. The great thing about watercolor is you can mix any color you need from just a few tubes. With pastels, you need to have as many colors as possible.
I have an assortment of different colors made by different companies. I'm learning that my favorites are made by Girault. The pastels are soft and blend well, but not so soft that they crumble. You can create a nice hard edge with them, and the colors are rich and velvety!
