Blending and Pastel Techniques

Create smooth colour transitions by applying two colours side by side and blending them with your fingers or a piece of paper. Layer colours to develop shading, add depth, and achieve a range of tonal effects.

Experiment with light pressure for delicate details or stronger strokes for bold, expressive marks. The squared shape offers flexibility, allowing you to use the edges for precise lines and the flat sides for broader areas of colour.

For best results, use a drawing surface with enough texture, or tooth, to hold the pastel pigment.

Protecting and Framing Pastel Artwork

To help protect finished pastel drawings from smudging, apply a pastel fixative according to the manufacturer's instructions. Fixatives can alter the appearance or intensity of pastel colours, so test on a sample before treating a finished artwork.

When framing pastel artwork behind glass, use a mount or suitable spacers to prevent the glass from touching the pastel surface. This helps minimise smudging and protects the artwork from direct contact with the glazing.

Cleaning and Care

Pastel residue can often be removed from hands and washable surfaces with soap and water. Handle finished artwork carefully, as soft pastel pigment can smudge when touched or rubbed.

Ideal for: Beginners, art students, pastel drawing, colour blending, shading, sketching, and creative art projects.
