Category: Soft pastels

Since 2013 I started using soft pastels. I had some Rowney sticks, then went into sets of 12 Reeves for a children’s workshop at Mount Annan Christian College. At that stage I had decided to add the medium to my repertoire and got a set of 60 Rembrandt soft pastels and one of 40 Art Spectrum, both portrait color sets. I intend to replace and gradually increase numbers with Sennelier and Schminke as I’m told are softer and probably better for layering.
… far cry from the three colors only I use for oil painting! In pastels you need every color. Possible exception made of Pan Pastels which I intend to try soon.
