Hi pastel mavens,
I had heard about Robert Doak and his fabulous pastels and other art supplies here and there. He is hard to locate as he does not have a web site and does not need one. He makes premiere art supplies for elite artists. The biggies use him.
He made a large order for a pastel society and they reneged on the deal. He has a lot of beautiful pastels available, especially in portrait colors. They are sequenced in 10 tones, instead of the usual 5-6 so you get all the nuances. As a matter of fact, all his colors are sequenced in 10 shades. They are very velvety.
They are pure pigments, no fillers. He usually only does custom orders, but he has quite a few colors on hand now. He has no charts but he will make up portrait sets of the usual red ochres, yellow ochres, he is familiar with what is needed because he works with the best.
The price is $100 for 50-55 colors. $100 minimum. They are handmade so they vary in size and it depend on the size if there will be 50 or 55. They usually retail for about $6. ea..
He will make up sets of sequenced blues, greens etc, but you have to buy a minimum of $100.
As I said his quality is legendary in paints, canvas and other supplies for the professional.
