Pan Pastels on Black

My first attempt at PanPastels, had fun! I wanted to seal it so I could put it on my scanner, so I brayered clear gesso onto a gel plate then pressed it to the PanPastels painting to seal. It worked without smearing the PanPastels but I learned something interesting: the gesso brought the black of the background paper up through the PanPastels ughhh The colors were bright and vibrant before sooooo lesson learned lol Light-colored paper next time!
