I'm back from the repair shop with a new power unit and am back in business!I'm going to have a pastel theme for the Resources section which will comprise a number of posts. This post is the first in a series which will feature my Unison pastel set - which is my main "workhorse" set of pastels. I have an awful lot of boxes of 18 Unison pastels - which I started acquiring in the early/mid 1990s. All mine are in the colour sets and these don't often seem to feature on many suppliers pages so I thought I'd post them all.
These two are my most recent acquisition - the Darks and the Lights. They've not been used a lot as yet - but they are very well liked my me already - some of the shades are what I missed from the original range. The nice thing is that the darks are not at all scratchy - which often seems to happen with dark colours in some brands of pastel.
I'm going to post the rest of the sets but as we have quite a lot to get through I'll be doing two boxes a day - and I'm open to persuasion as to which ones you want to see next!
These are the sets I have:
- green 1-18
- green 19-36
- blue green
- blue green earth
- blue
- yellow
- yellow green earth
- brown earth
- red
- red earth
- greys (my selection)
- portrait
Hi,
ReplyDeleteI have not used pastels with confidence simply for the fact that it is not an easy medium to tackle. I think compared to watercolour, it is a wee bit more controllable. But only if you can build up the layers slowly. My two cents.
