Telescope Reviews: Re: Many People ask what are or why pastels?

I used to do oils when I was in school. I did like acrylics better, though, if anything because they dried faster and clean up was easier.

Charcoal is my favorite medium to use.

I'm not sure I'd like to use paints at the eyepiece. Using charcoals and pastels require a knack to keep the dust off the glass as it is. I could just see me getting paint all over my gear.

But it would be fun to pursue paints for general art instead of during my observations. Water color used to be fun as well.
