| can i just add that make sure that if you do go out and buy pastels you get normal ones and not "oil pastels"
oil pastels can work but have completely different porperties and cannot be used with water for a wash (but a decent white spirit can do the job)
also, pastels are expensive. but worth it. individually they can range from 50p - £2 and a decent set will set you back £20 odd.
