Debra,

I do like this technique of yours. It seems to work very well with your tendency to paint rather thinly and transparently, which works well in watercolor but can be problematic with oils (as it gives the impression you are not taking full advantage of the medium). Putting the watercolor wash underneath and pastel over it remind me of putting a thin undercoat of oil on the canvas and then building up layers of thicker paint. I imagine it must work in a similar way. The result has lots of body without looking overworked. I really like it and I think you should keep going with it.
