My subjects for pastel paintings tend to be very colorful. I recently switched from acrylics to pastels and I am excited about the medium and it's vibrant, glowing imagery. It far surpasses what I can do with oils or acrylics. It also helps me get away from painting in a realistic style and become looser and more suggestive. Pastels are perfect for this.
