The Expressive Power of Pastels in Art
pastels are unmatched in their ability to convey emotion and vibrancy, offering a direct and tactile way to express your artistic vision. With their high pigment concentration, pastels create bold, striking colours that retain their intensity even after blending. Techniques such as cross-hatching and feathering add texture and dimension, while layering builds depth and complexity. Pastels work well on a range of surfaces, from smooth paper to textured boards, giving you the freedom to experiment with different effects. Their versatility allows for both fine details and sweeping strokes, making them suitable for portraits, landscapes, and abstract art.
