The technique I use involves multiple layering. It is not that hard to lift if you don't do it over and over again. A kneaded eraser or some "sticky stuff" works pretty good. If you need to go even further a baby wipe can pick up some color as well. Again it only works if you don't do it over and over again.

Wax bloom is easily prevented by using fixative. The same stuff you use for pastels. It doesn't happen with light layers. It only happens when the surface is really worked hard.

I have completed several portraits and other works on toned paper. It is really great. I would direct you to my website, but the webmaster says it is still about two weeks from being up and running! I will post my current piece here in the next couple of days. It is a mixed media piece that has colored pencil and guache.

Thanks,
Rebecca
