Pastel drawing

 

Pastel drawing is a technique in which artists use soft pastels, which are dry and powdery colored sticks, to create colorful and textured artworks. Pastels come in various colors and shades, and artists can blend them on paper using their fingers, blending tools, or even brushes. Pastel drawings often have a rich, painterly quality with vibrant colors and a unique, soft texture. They can range from delicate and subtle to bold and expressive. Pastels are applied directly to the surface, allowing for quick layering and mixing of colors. Pastel drawings are commonly used for portraits, landscapes, still life, and other subjects, providing a versatile and visually appealing medium.
