Mastering Techniques with Pastels
Pastels offer a range of techniques that allow artists to achieve stunning results across various styles and genres. Layering is a popular method for building depth and richness, while blending creates smooth gradients and transitions between colours. Techniques like scumbling or stippling introduce texture, adding interest and dimension to your work. Highlights can be easily added with a light touch of pastel, while darker tones provide dramatic contrasts. Pastels are also perfect for experimenting with line work or broad, expressive strokes. By mastering these techniques, you can harness the full potential of pastels, bringing vibrancy and life to your artwork with every application.
