What is the VERB for creating a picture using Pastels?

Question

As in if you use a pencil it is called a drawing, paint it is a painting, pasteles are colored chalk...

Answer 1

pastelling?

Answer 2

Pastel Painting or Pastel Drawing are both appropriate. When I teach about famous pastelists, such as Cassatt or Degas, I use the term "pastel painting" because they are masters of the craft. If the work is less finished and more like a sketch, I use the term drawing.

Answer 3

I know in life drawing, when we use charcoals and pastels we just refer to it as sketching. I've never heard a specific term for creating a piece with pastels.
