PASTEL PAINTINGS
Painting in dry colours
When highly finished pictures are made with pastel they are called Pastel Paintings. Contrary to the widespread view, there is nothing pale or insipid about the medium. Pigment concentration is high, producing strong colours, which gives a uniquely matt but brilliant appearance. Explore an extensive range of work in pastel in the following two gallery sections.
