However, their ability to fully cover colours beneath can vary. So if you want to create some ultra light highlights in your pastel painting, leave these sections of your paper blank. This will ensure that none of the colour great trick to use for the underpainting. It means that you can cover the white of the paper, then layer thick pastel on top.
