Pastels: A Tool for Vibrant Artistic Expression
Pastels are a unique and expressive medium, known for their rich, vibrant pigmentation and ease of application. Whether you’re creating detailed landscapes or bold abstract pieces, pastels allow you to achieve stunning effects with minimal effort. They are ideal for blending and layering, enabling artists to create seamless transitions between colours or build depth and texture. Techniques such as smudging or stippling bring added dimension, making pastels suitable for capturing light, shadows, intricate details, and even subtle gradients. Pastels work beautifully on a variety of surfaces, from smooth papers to textured boards, allowing for versatility and creativity in your artistic process.
