This is the start of a new pastel drawing. First  I begin with a charcaol drawing focusing primarily on composition, scale, and shape of each element.

The next step of the process is to block in a basic color for each area with gouache paint. Gouache is a water based paint similar to watercolor, but has more of an opaque quality  rather than the transparency of watercolor.
