I told you I'd make you a flower and I did. Here's your flower. I'm just going to show you really quickly a trick for blending. We go over here. Just kind of put some purple in for you just so you can have some color to see. It's pretty hard probably looking thru your computer screen. Now we're just going to throw a little bit of the pink that I used. See the way that's already starting to blend. It mutes, it softens. That's the straight pink by itself. I'm just doing it in blobs so you can see what happens. There's a little bit lighter purple. We'll throw a little bit of yellow in there. See where these little spaces are, we can even pull some of the yellow thru there if we want to. Whatever color you want as a highlight you can just put over on top and then you can either blend it with a Q-tip or a naven or you can use your finger, which I choose not to do today, and you can draw all the other colors up into and down into the next color. I just wanted you to see that you can soften the entire thing just by using a naven. Or if you wanted it to be lighter, you can actually pull in some white and use that as your blender and lightener. In the next segment, we're going to show how to do a trick or 2 using these pastels.
