Here's a few stages in a little demo I did.
I like the pastel, the colours stay vibrant, at least for now, I'll revisit in a few days

Pastel cat on Pastelmat
I wanted to compare pastel and coloured pencil on Pastelmat. I also wanted to see how colours worked on the black as I always feel that black Stonehenge has a deadening effect on colours.

Thank you for sharing your experience with the world Gayle. This is a great demo which can help me to improve my skill.
This is gorgeous already! Are you using stick pastels or pencil pastels?
Thanks!
Georgeous, the black really makes the colours sing
Thanks everybody.
Teresa I'm using soft pastels rather than pastel pencils
I love the way this is turning out!
And to be quite honest, I think the cat looks super cool "unfinished" against the black/gray background.
So neat!!

Thank you... just saw a more recent version and....... like all of your work...... Wow!
Thank you Gayle for sharing this. very interesting tutorial.
I have just tried pastel pencils and I don't really care for them. I like the soft pastel sticks. but find it hard to do fine detail with them. Just learning here. :)
