Pastels & 3 Points For Stronger Art

By Robert Sutter


When it comes to the softest methods of art out there, pastels have to rank pretty highly. These tools can be put to use in order to create softer images, bringing various colors together in order to create the most aesthetically pleasing pieces of art possible. However, what if you are new to this and require assistance in order to make the most out of this particular endeavor? If you would like some help on the matter, here are 3 tips that are worth your attention.

1. If you want to make the most out of your pastels, you have to hold them in a particular way. It is recommended that you hold them not unlike pencils, as this will allow you a greater sense of range in the long term. Let's say that you want to create thinner lines while going about pastel artistry; a lighter grip, as well as application, will be required. Make sure that you use your entire arm so that you have as much range on the matter as possible.

2. Understand which pastels are best when they are mixed together. This is where I feel as though painting is an easier endeavor, since you will be able to mix colors rather easily before applying them to the canvas in front of you. Pastels, on the other hand, have to be applied directly on the surface but I am of the opinion that this has the potential to create a litany of moods as a result. For more comprehensive blending, on your part, make sure that you have a tissue or cotton swab on hand.

3. I am of the opinion that the surface used for pastel artistry matters tremendously. This is especially true, seeing as how pastels usually do not bode well when it comes to the surfaces that feel smoother to the touch. Seeing as how said surfaces do not hold pastels well, it is recommended that slightly rougher textures are put to use instead. To say that this can change the landscape of whatever it is that you are trying to create would be nothing short of an understatement.

If you are looking for some of the best tips possible, in regards to pastel artistry, these should be able to stand out. It's apparent that this endeavor is fulfilling, to a number of individuals, and I do not think that anyone will be able to argue with such a sentiment. It seems as though every last element is going to matter, whether you are talking about the surface used for pastel application or what have you. Either way, it should be noted that these tips will help in the long term.
