Using a mixture of hard and soft pastels on pastel paper, I begin by blocking in the dark masses with a hard pastel on its side, brushing alcohol or methylated spirits to cover the area. Then I build up the values, working right around the whole painting, looking for overall balance and colour harmony.
The finishing steps are achieved with softer pastels, adding the highlights last.
