A couple of days ago, before I did the pic I posted yesterday, I picked up a pack of Crayola Portfolio water soluble pastels.  Before I did anything serious, I thought I would experiment with them. Some I colored with then went over with a wet brush, some I colored with directly onto wet paper, and a few i tried wetting the tip of the pastel before coloring. Course, I didn't mark which way I did each section... But, least I got to play.

   They were fun to play with. The pastels were super creamy, blended easily. With water anyway. It occurs to me I didn't try blending them dry like regular oil pastels. Maybe that will be my next play date. But so far, I am glad I picked them up.
