Pastels have been used by artists since the Renaissance, and gained considerable popularity in the 18th century, when a number of notable artists made pastel their primary medium. The soft texture of these pastels can create smooth, smudgy lines and intense color. Soft pastels cannot be mixed on a palette and for this reason many artists use an extensive range of colors. There's no better media than pastel for feeling at one with your ideas and relating your experience.
Working at your own pace, you will learn how to layer colors, 'see' shapes and shadows, and also learn the basics of a strong design and composition.
