About Pastel

Pastel paintings have retained their beauty for hundreds of years, as evidenced by
paintings in museums - paintings by Degas, Mary Cassatt, and Toulouse Lautrec,
just to name a few. Often referred to by many as chalk, the medium of soft pastel
isn’t chalk. It’s pure pigment, the same pigment that is used in oil paints. Many people
associate the word pastel with delicate tints and pale hues; however, when used to its
best advantage, pastel paintings are vibrant, with strong darks to offset the brilliant color.
There are many styles and innovative approaches to pastel painting, ranging from
traditional to contemporary.
