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 favorite for professional artists and hobbyists alike.
