Pastel Painting - Techniques
Pastel painting is a tactile and expressive art technique. Known for its rich pigments and velvety texture, pastel is one of the most immediate ways of working with colours.
This is a great medium if you’re looking for vibrant, blendable colours with an immediate and direct application. Pastels allow artists to layer, smudge, and build depth without the need for drying time, making them ideal for everything from delicate shading to bold, painterly strokes.
Whether working with soft pastels for smooth blending, oil pastels for rich textures, or hard pastels for fine detail, this medium offers endless possibilities. Discover the key techniques, tools, and materials to develop your pastel painting skills.
