Pastel Pastels are pure colour. They are made by binding colour pigment with gum or glue. The resulting paste is shaped into round or square sticks and hardened. To create lighter colours, white chalk is added. Less binder creates a pastel that is soft and buttery while more binder creates a harder pastel. Pastels generally are referred to as ‘soft pastels’ to differentiate them from other harder forms such as Conté. Pastels are a wonderful medium to work with and can be applied with delicate translucent strokes or thick velvety strokes. Made famous by Degas 150 years ago in France, today pastel is enjoying a resurgence in world art. There are now several pastel societies across Australia (see links page).
