Q and A with Carol: "Are your colors really that bright or do you enhance them?

I was just asked this question. In many of my paintings, I use watercolor and acrylic as an under painting and then finish with soft pastels.  Soft pastels can be subtle or muted or they can be very vivid or bright. They really do jump off the page. And, under glass, they are even more vivid.  The large pastel makers including Sennelier, Rembrandt and others offer hundreds of colors. The sky is really the limit. So, yes, my paintings really are bright. Of course, everyone's computer screen varies, so we all see a some what different intensity.
