Pastels are virtually pure pigment, applied directly to the surface to be
painted. Unlike oils, pastels are
inert and do not oxidize. Therefore, they are quite durable. The colors do not change or fade. The best
surfaces have a “tooth,” such as Kitty Wallis Museum
Sanded Paper, allowing up to 25 layers of pastel to be applied. Hundreds of pastel colors exist ready-made
and others may be created by
this layering technique. Pastels must
always be framed under glass; if touched, the color will smear. |
