The brand you choose for pastels plays a significant role in the quality and longevity of your artwork. Premium brands use high-quality pigments, resulting in vibrant, consistent colours that are easy to blend and layer. They also ensure smoother application, reducing breakage and allowing for greater precision. Lightfastness is another critical factor, as it determines how well the colours resist fading over time. Professional artists often rely on trusted brands for their superior performance and durability, while beginners can benefit from affordable yet reliable options. Whether you’re creating bold compositions or intricate details, selecting a reputable brand guarantees that your pastels deliver the vibrancy, consistency, and lasting impact your artwork deserves.
