Mastering the necessary technique for soft pastels is simple
As with all pastels, soft pastels are so easy to get to grips with. They’re the go-to option for artists looking to create impressionist-inspired pieces, using effortless strokes that create the illusion of movement and spontaneity — if you want your artwork to have an all-round more vivid feel to it, then this is the perfect approach to take! Regardless of whether you’ve worked with pastels before or not, we can assure you that soft pastels drawing and painting is all about your own flair, making it simple to incorporate into your own style. Soft pastels can be blended easily, and they’re suitable for use on a variety of surfaces including textured pastel pads, painting canvases and sketching pads. Soft pastels drawing and painting techniques can also be elevated by pairing the pastels with other mark-making medias, including watercolour paints, acrylic paints, and even polymer clay. Soft pastels can bring out so many unique finishes to your work, so don’t be afraid of experimenting with this versatile media.
