Hi Sharon
Thank you for your kind constructive critic. The picture was exactly like you described in the other post, a colored drawing, with to much color and too little light.
The reference was a B/W Pro-photo from the kindergarden so I think that I will leave it as is, and better see if I can buy the digital camera that I need so much to get some decent reference photos.
I found that my pastels was placed in boxes without any palette system. So I made groups of the different colors - Raw Sienna, Vermilion and Light Red and so on. This made it much easier to pick up the the right stick.
Perhaps it will be an idea to limit the number of colors. E.g. Light Red is very useful so I should buy all 10 tones. Other colors maybe 4-6 tones. Few colors but in many tones due to fact that they can not be mixed.
