The softness in those water reflections is hard to pull off in pastel without muddying things, and you kept them delicate. I'm curious what paper you're working on, the tooth seems to let you layer the color gently instead of fighting it.

Thanks Nora. It’s Spectrum Colourfix. I used a dark blue paper.

The color temperature in that sky is doing a lot of work. Pastels have this opacity advantage for layering atmosphere that digital never quite replicates the same way, and you're using it.
