What you need to get started with pastels painting ?
You may have already had some experience with pastels because they’re a popular art material for children and adults, but whether you’ve been working with pastels for a while or are just starting out, pastels are just plain fun.
Pastels vary quite a bit in hardness and texture from one brand to another. We advise that you start with a few sets of different hardnesses and then decide which suits your individual working style. Three different sets cover most of your needs as you begin: hard or semi-hard pastels, soft pastels, and pastel pencils, in a general assortment of colors. You can complete most of the projects and exercises in this book with the following supplies:
- Set of 60 half sticks of Rembrandt brand soft pastels in assorted colors
- Set of 24 Prismacolor Nupastel hard pastels in assorted colors
- Set of 12 CarbOthello pastel pencils in assorted colors
- Workable spray fixative
- 23-x-26-inch or similar-sized drawing board
- Pastel or charcoal paper
- A sketchbook with at least 30 pages (50- to 100-pound paper)
In the beginning, assorted color sets are more useful than the specialized sets you can get for landscape or portrait work. Later, you can purchase individual sticks of colors as you need them or special sets for different subjects. For example, you may find that you always run out of yellow or that you need several different types of violet. These preferences reflect your own working style, and you want to be able to respond to it easily without running out to the store again.
