To get practice in color you might want to try oils, since it's so easy to rework problem areas (no danger of losing the tooth of the paper, as in pastels, etc).

There are really no hard and fast rules about whether you must work from light to dark or dark to light and the rich, lush range of colors is so wonderful. With a dozen tubes of paint you can get just about any color you want and don't have to buy a 500 plus tray of colors, as you do in pastel.

Oils are not hard to learn. I had never worked in oil paint until two years ago and will probably never go back to any other medium. Give it a try.
