yea the answer is……." La Fiesta De Pilito " artist is El Gran Combo album is " 30 Anniversario "
There was a peice of art that was given to me when I moved out. It was found in the attic of our house. It has a print number on it but when I touched the art that was clearly of a pastel medium it smudged which led me to believe that even though it has a number it is an origional piece. I would guess that it is atleast 30 -50 years old I want to know how I can find out exactly how old and maybe where it came from? Where do I start?
Hi! With the little information you have on this piece of work, your best bet would be to start with the history of your house. Check with the neighbors for information. Perhaps you will be able to locate a former owner who did the artwork, or knows where it came from. Check with the recording department of your city government to get this information.
Also, contact all of the art galleries, frame shops, art schools, museums, etc. in your area. If the artist had work framed previously, or exhibited in the area, someone in the industry may recognize the work.
You might want to take a digital photograph of the artwork to post on Craig’s List or Yahoo! Answers, asking if anyone recognizes the pastel piece.
I would also urge you to speak with someone who is an expert in preservation of pastel art, and take measures to protect this piece, get it properly framed, and displayed!
Thanks for asking this question. Best wishes!

I have been sketching for years but I am at a fork where i have to decide between pastels, paint, or colored pencils. Can i be a professional colered pencil artist like in museum?
yes, you can. I take art lessons from a professional color pencil artist. She used to just do color pencil, but now she does that and acrylic paint. She’s made a living doing that, and she’s very successful. 
In this video 8-minute video clip, pastel artist, Sari Gaby addresses the topic of pastel surfaces and talks about how to make an ideal pastel surface for your next painting.

I don’t have the money right now for that artist adhesive spray, so would it be okay for use hairspray? I’ve gotten one yes and one no on another question so far, and I want more opinions.
I ave worked with a lot of pastels over the past years and when I run out of fixative I use hair spray and have had good results so I say yes. I see no problem with it.
And I have never had any problems with my work, and to me it works just as well.
