Hi Guy,

Yes, or just use traditional pastel sticks.

Pan pastel is very expensive in my area. Can I grind pastel sticks to powder and use it instead?

Guy

Is there a different pad that has dark green?

If you are making the underpainting, how do you decide what colors to use? How do you know which colors will work together? Trial and error? For instance, I was watching another person do a pastel drawing of a landscape with trees. She used purple to underpaint the green trees with. I would have never thought to use purple.
