AGAIN .. Funny as heck. You are killing me with funny over here. Thanks for the laugh. 😆
I have been using oil paint over watercolor recently.. maybe I should break out the pastels and give them a whirl. That may be some fun.

Yes, try pastel over watercolor. Prime the paper with Liquitex Clear Gesso (my post a few weeks ago) to add plenty of tooth. It will take watercolor no problem, although some wet-in-wet techniqes are limited as paper absorbency goes down with priming. You can colorize the gesso with watercolor as well - transparent acrylics with tooth.
You can furthermore use the Liquitex as a liquid blending medium for pastels, too. Thin with some water and add a few drops of glycerin to improve flow. Thus liquid blending turns your pastel pigments into instant acrylics while maintaining perfect tooth. Also works on watercolor pencils.
Experimenting - it's fun.
