Pastels come in several types, each with unique properties suited to different techniques and styles. Soft pastels are prized for their rich pigmentation and blendability, making them perfect for creating gradients and bold, expressive strokes. Hard pastels offer more control and precision, ideal for detailed linework or fine accents. Oil pastels, with their creamy texture, provide excellent coverage and are often used for mixed media projects. Pan pastels, applied with sponges or tools, allow for smooth, painterly effects. Each type of pastel brings its own advantages, and understanding these differences helps you select the best option for your artistic goals.
