Opinions vary. When I use soft pastels I usually block in using acrylics. Since over 90% of the finished piece is pastels that's what I call it. Usually if you mix 2 or more different media it gets refered to as mixed media. I usually base it on how much of each media I used and if I used it just for blocking in or if it is integral to the finished painting. Clear as mud, huh?
