G) Limit Your Palette & Skin Tones

1.  Introduction
Once you have completed the drawing part of this project, you now can start the pastel work.  I like to start with the skin tones of the little girl.  A major tip I have for Pastel Drawing is LIMIT YOUR PALETTE.  In other words, only use two or three colors in an area.  For the skin tone of this drawing, I will use the peach pastel, the brown pastel, and the black pastel for shadows.  The peach will be a base color, the brown will be the shades of skin tone, and the black will be the dark shadows in the skin.
