Pastels are gorgeous!<\/h5>\n

Artists often compare pastels to sweets because they are so colourful and tempting!
\nUnlike paint hidden in tubes, pastel colours are out for all to see \u2013 and touch! One of the reasons pastel artists love their medium is that they use their hand directly; there is no intermediary brush between the artist and the surface.<\/p>\n

Made in the UK, Unison Soft Pastels are considered the best pastels by many artists, with a huge range of colours and an amazing softness. At Jackson’s we now have three new Unison Collection Sets, exclusive to us, and we now stock their whole colour range in the large stick size!<\/p>\n

Unison Colour Soft Pastels<\/h5>\n

Unison handmade soft pastels contain very little binder, making them truly soft and smooth. In their subtlety and intensity of colour, their fluency and responsiveness to touch and in their delicacy and robustness, Unison Colour Soft Pastels<\/a> “aspire to perfection”.<\/p>\n

There are over 400 colours ranging from subtle greys and earth colours to brilliant reds, blues, greens and yellows using only pure pigments in a cycle of related hues, instead of adding white or black to the colours. The result is intense, vibrant colour not muddied by the blending of colours. They are mixed to meticulous recipes and are based on traditional pigments such as cadmiums, cobalts and natural and synthetic earths.<\/p>\n

\n
New Unison Collection Sets<\/h5>\n

\"Jacksons<\/a><\/p>\n

From the huge range of over 400 colours we have asked artists to select sets of colours that would be useful for their particular work. We have just added three new sets to our exclusive artist’s collection sets. The new Unison Collection Sets<\/a> have been selected by artists Sean Scully, David Tremlett, and Emma Colbert.<\/p>\n

Sean Scully and David Tremlett<\/h5>\n

Read our earlier article Pastels with Potential<\/a> that includes the well-known artists Sean Scully and David Tremlett who use pastels as part of their painting practice. We also have an interview with Turner-Prize nominee David Tremlett: Pushing the Boundaries of Pastel Painting<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Emma Colbert<\/h5>\n

Emma Colbert specialises in pastel painting. The Emma Colbert Animal Collection<\/a> is specifically designed for painting animals. Her work has a realistic appearance, but with a softness and vibrancy only achievable with pastels. She regularly exhibits as a full member of the Pastel Society of Ireland<\/a>. Emma paints what she loves, British and Irish wildlife, local landscapes and any figurative scenes which interest her.<\/p>\n

Emma Colbert describes her 18-stick collection: “The top row of lights should cover light coloured animals. The bottom row of browns should cover a lot of different brown families while the grey and blue shades will cover black animals. The middle row is a touch of vibrancy for highlights and shadow colours. These are my most used colours so I hope it will make for a good set!”<\/p>\n

She now also has a 36-stick collection.<\/a> <\/p>\n

Large Pastel Sticks<\/h5>\n

Jackson’s now stock the full colour range of over 400 colours in the large size. Unison Large Pastels are 2.3 times the size of the standard Unison Pastel, measuring approximately 3″ long \u00d7 6\/8″ diameter (75 mm \u00d7 20mm). The stick sizes vary slightly because each pastel is rolled by hand.<\/p>\n
