A basic pastel starter set
Every newbie to pastel drawing needs a set of pastels. Pastels are offered in large sets because, unlike paint, you can’t mix the exact color to match the color you see in your image. Although pastels are available in sets ranging from a dozen to hundreds of colors, we suggest you begin with a basic pastel starter set, which typically includes a general assortment of 30 to 60 colors. Get one set of soft pastels and one set of semi-hard or hard pastels and a set of pastel pencils, as we describe in Chapter 1. By buying preselected sets, you save money and get a wider selection of colors. The general assortment of colors gives you more colors for your palette and are more useful in the long run. You can move on to genre-specific sets (such as landscape) later. Plus, you eliminate the guesswork of trying to pick the right materials on your own.
But if you want more freedom in choosing your start-up supplies, you can build your own set. We recommend that you start with the basic sets of hard and soft pastels on our supply list, and then build your own set piece by piece by adding to these sets. We recommend Rembrandt’s General Selection of 60 half sticks. The half sticks of colors are very cost effective because you get a greater assortment of colors. To decide what extra colors you need, just note what you seem to use the most of. Maybe it’s more blues or more reds; each person has individual tastes. See Chapter 1 for a full list of our recommendations for your supplies.
If you’ve been doing pastels for a while, we suggest that you purchase a set of assorted colors and then supplement the set with your own preferred colors that you can purchase individually. Even for beginners, you start to develop preferences for certain colors as your work becomes more sophisticated, and you find a need for a wider palette of colors.
