Pastels: Versatile and Unique in Their Application
Pastels stand out as one of the most versatile artistic mediums, suitable for both detailed work and expansive, expressive creations. Soft pastels provide rich, bold colours that blend effortlessly, while oil pastels offer a creamy texture for smooth application and layering. Hard pastels excel in precision, making them perfect for detailed sketches or final touches. The wide variety of pastel types allows artists to experiment with techniques like layering, blending, or scumbling to create unique textures and effects. Pastels also pair well with other media, such as charcoal or ink, for mixed media projects. Their adaptability and vibrant results make them a favourite for professional artists and hobbyists alike.

Hard pastels work well on smooth paper for detailed linework or sketching. Oil pastels are versatile, working on a variety of surfaces, including canvas, wood, and even glass. Pan pastels excel on surfaces that allow for blending, such as velvety or sanded papers. Choosing the right pastels for your preferred surface ensures that your artwork achieves the desired effect, whether it’s a soft, blended look or bold, precise details.
