Pastel drawing
The pastel technique is a subtle blend between drawing and painting. Some artists favor blending while others prefer to superimpose thick layers of color. In any case, the result is attractive There are more and more fans of this art which truly brings out the authenticity of a work. Indeed, a pastel painting will have its own thicknesses and mixtures of colors, positioned in the right direction. s according to the artist's style, which will be difficult to imitate.
Works whose conservation is excellent
The composition of the pastel sticks used by the designer comes from natural and noble materials. In fact their color is obtained using based on mineral pigments such as ocher and sienna, organic pigments such as sepia, phthalocyanines, azoic pigments or even vegetable pigments such as isatis tinctoria. This herbaceous plant called dyers' pastel or even woad grows to 100%. the wild state. To give them the familiar texture, the sticks also contain a filler, generally chalk or plaster. Finally the consistency of these ingredients and the solidity of the product. The bonding of the concrete is ensured by a binder. It is this binder which will condition the two types of pastel, dry or oily, used by the designer. This is gum arabic for dry pastels, and oil or wax for fat pastels.
These primary stick manufacturing techniques, using no chemicals, give the pastel paintings a unique robustness. Pastel is much more stable than the majority of pastels. paints. The designer does not need to use fixatives which over time alter the quality of the drawing. and the velvety finish pastel works. The designer will also not need to use a siccative, or more commonly a drying accelerator, which tends to deteriorate. dull the colors. Pastel works are thus preserved perfectly. They only fear dust and humidity, so the ideal is to protect them with glass.
Works full of history

Their rough support, generally at heavy weight, reinforces this feeling of uniqueness. and purity when we observe them.
The pastel drawing brings out all the creativity of the artist. and the world of the designer
The designer has the possibility to to use pastel sticks in multiple ways. If his drawing requires precise lines, he will use the edge of the concrete. On the other hand, he will use the edge to draw the surfaces. It will crush the material if it wishes to accentuate an area of color. The combination of these techniques allows for a great variety of applications. textures and renderings. The designer can thus let his creative universe speak and reproduce his ideas with precision.
The pastellist can also choose different color combination techniques. He can apply colors simply, juxtapose them, blend them, or superimpose them. Pastel drawing does not allow you to mix colors on a palette. The application and dosage of colors must be done directly on the support, with the tone perfectly correct. In fact, pigments are very covering, it is practically impossible to cover a light color with a strong tint like red or black. This difficulty makes all the beauty of this art, forcing the designer to demonstrate precision and concentration.
