Taking one of the four pieces of my final pastel roll, I begin to mix another custom color by adding white paste.
Make notes of your mistakes/adjustments.
Continue to grind and mold the paste until you get the mixture completely smooth.

Now roll your new custom color into a long pastel log and cut into four pieces.
Set three of them aside.
Taking the one custom piece, mix with one of the premade pure white pastel log pieces. You now are going to make another custom color that will be a lighter version of the other two you have already made.

Use the putty knife again to smooth the mix and form your new custom pastel color log.
Make notes of your mistakes/adjustments.
Once again, roll your new custom color into a log and reserve three of the pieces. Take one piece and add it to the last premix white paste.
