I love using Pastels and I like the feel of the Pastel and also it's always fun to follow behind your Pastels with some kind of a soft, thing like a Blender and you can do the same thing of course inside of Painter. Let me go ahead and show you how I use the Pastels. First of all I will select the Pastel and then I'll choose a nice color like this and let me zoom in a little bit on the shoulder guard. What I'm going to do is I'm going to grab the Pastel and I'm going to just fill in some colors like so. Alright so I'll go ahead and put a little red there and I'll put some here as well and what I want to do with the Pastel is Blend into a different color. So I'm going to choose something else like this and I'll add that right on top of the last strokes there. Pastels are fun because you don't really have to worry about what they're going to look like while you're working on it. Typically what I like to do on some of the friends that I have that use Pastels like they do is just do the ground work by laying in some colors knowing that they are going to then blend those guys into one another when they're finished. So once again I'm just going to go ahead and keep going with this and all the way in the back there I'll put a really nice dark color, even inside the armor. Now what I'm going to do is go get a Blender. Now Blender comes in all kinds of shapes and sizes and of course they all can be used depending on what you're doing. For example when I use a watercolor I'll choose something like Just Add Water, although truth be told I use Just Add Water for pretty much everything. You can also use Oily Blenders when you want to use that effect on an oil paint if you want to. You have some grainy here, some diffuse, that will kind of give you like watercolor, wet paper feel. You have some coarse oily and you also have a blur. But what I'm going to use is a Soft, Blender Stump. Now when you go to the art store and you go and ask for those little stumps they look like their paper that's been tightly wounded up and you can use them to go over your chalks or your pastels with those. So now that I have my Soft, Blender Stump 30 or even 20 depending on the size of the brush I'm going to use. I can then go back over that and look at that, look at how beautifully those colors just blend into one another and that's the magic of Pastels. You can get some extremely nice blends in your colors by just using a Blender like that. So let me go ahead and just keep going, its really awesome. One of the things you want to do to get a very interesting feel is just add a whole bunch of colors, you know, as you can see here. I have greens and I have red and I have dark blue all the way in the background and they're all blending in very nicely with one another. If you really want to polish off a Pastel and add a kind of Rim Light feeling which you can do is grab something like a yellow and get a smaller brush. Let's go back to the Pastels very quickly and what you could do is you know hit the edges of something where sunlight would be like that and just a little bit and go back and grab that Blender again and get that all mixed up in your artwork like so. So you get those nice hints of sun or moonlight or whatever it is that you're trying to get into the colors and that is something that I love to use, Pastels are one of my favorite things.
