- Blending ANALOGOUS colors with and without finger blending

- Straight and Curved lines with the TIPS and with the SIDES of the pastels
- Filling large areas with a color and then doing smaller details over the top with another DIFFERENT color
- Blending with CIRCULAR marks as well as BACK AND FORTH marks
- Using PAPER as a masking tool
- Adding a WHITE HIGHLIGHT over a darker colored surface
- Working UPRIGHT on an easel versus on the FLAT on a table top
- Cleaning your pastels with paper towel
- Experiment on your own – use your initial images of SKETCHING for the VISUAL experiment inspiration
- CLEANING with SPRAY and a CLOTH RAG – that’s not an exercise but a technique that will clean a lot faster than paper towel
