Final Product!
I'm finished with my first project! Here's my top layer of the pastel drawing. You can see how many of the bright hues were muted to create the final effect.

Landscape Pastel Drawing
Currently, I am working on a pastel drawing of a water scene. I am using a complementary color layering technique to build up the complex colors within the drawing. For the base layer, I've used the complementary colors purple and yellow to block the light and dark values in the scene. A picture of this beginning step is posted above. After spraying a fixative onto the drawing, I will continue to build color by working around the color wheel.
