HOW TO USE

You don't need to know anything complicated to use pastels. The basic way to use pastels is to use the tips to draw, paint, or blur by rubbing with your fingers. By combining these techniques, pastels can be used in various ways, and we hope that you will feel free to use them as a painting medium.

There is no rule that says you have to use pastels in particular way. A variety of expressions are possible by devising the materials to be painted with and the way of painting. Just by changing the material you draw on, such as wood, Japanese paper, or cardboard, you can realize the wide range of expression possible with pastels.

IDEAS

Drawing with lines and surfaces

Using the corners of pastels, you can draw clear lines. This is effective when you want to draw the outline of an object or to give it a sharpness. Also, laying down the pastel is useful when painting on a large surface. The unevenness of the colors produced by the texture of the paper used and the degree of force applied will create a good taste.

Blurring

The range of expression can be broadened by "blurring" the area painted with pastels using a finger. In addition, Gondola pastels use water-soluble glue to solidify the pigments. Therefore, by tracing over the pastel colors with a brush wetted with water, a watercolor-like texture can be created.

Mixing Colors

Pastels cannot be mixed on a palette like watercolors or oil paintings, but colors can be layered on paper to create new colors. Depending on the order in which the colors are applied and the amount of force applied, different colors can be created even if the same colors are used. Enjoy the changes in color and try to create a color that fits your image.
