Besotted with pastels




Mary,

They are a well known addiction, they should be regulated like alcohol. I ran into a friend of mine recently at a party, she had been exploring large scale pastels, using Goldens Acrylic Primer for Pastels. She looked positively insane describing the acres of lush pastels on oversized surfaces. You can put that stuff on anything, I am currently putting it on aluminum panels (DiBond) and airbrushing it with Golden Fluid Matte acrylic. It is like a giant piece of tinted paper.

However, explore the world of really good paper.
It is really satisfying to work on exquisitly crafted surfaces.

Try the Great American Pastels, gorgeous colors, somwhat like a Schmincke only with a greater range.

Ask me any questions about the stuff, I have been really researching pastels intensively over the last few years, mediums , methods, etc.

Thanks for the compliment!
Enjoy!
