To me oil is more like riding a bike, while pastels are more like flying a plane. You have to do it often to stay proficient. This may just be a personal thing.

Chris,
Do you share my belief that pastels are at least as difficult as oils and are much less forgiving.
I know that each medium heads toward the same goal and with the same results in mind. We use edges, color, blah, blah to reach the same conclusions, but after that, they are so completely different. It's like comparing the skills needed to fly a plane compared to those needed to sail a ship. Each may have the same destination in mind, but that's about it. I know some people's circumstance and capacity may be such that they can excel at both, but for me I think I'm going to drop this one off.
