Chalk?
I think I herd somewhere that you can use chalk like paint..wet the the brush and dab it on the chalk... is this true?
Try it. Then you'll know.

I've never tried it Speedo. But one of my students in a workshop was working with oil pastels. Now "That's an interesting medium." She dipped her brush in turp to blend. You can't hardly blend oil pastels without doing that. They work a lot like crayons.
As far as using water and regular pastels, like GRM says, give it a try. Good luck!

I've never tied ..... but I want to know too! :-)
Lately I've been dabbling in chalk pastels (a messy business) but hope you'll post the fruits of your labour soon so we can all have a look-see!

Hi dshizer
I did a couple of ACEO's with pastel ( a chickadee and a tree frog) and I have posted them in the ACEO group. I screwed up the tree frog ..... it looked beautiful, then I over worked it, then kept going trying to undo the damage and got myself in deeper ..... wish I had stopped when it had looked really vibrant! Anyway, that's how we learn I guess.
With the chickadee, I used a wet white pastel pencil tip to get a soft edge on it's belly. It seemed to work okay ..... pastels are a messy business tho' ..... like I said in an earlier post.
Also I find that when you spray them it ruins the colour!
I'm going to try oil pastels and turps one of these days too.
