Edgar Degas- Subject matter (ballerinas), muted colors, "smudge" technique, occasional outlines 

Fred Hatt- lets color of page show through, "squiggles", color blocking, saturation 

Begin filling in with chalk or Oil pastel (DON'T MIX THEM). You may use both mediums but in separate areas of your composition. Example: Oil pastel for the figure, chalk pastel for the background. Consider how your mentor artist makes marks
