Summary: Learn what pastel supplies you need to start creating pastel art in this free video art lesson.
"I’m just going to show you a little bit about the supplies, the things you’d need to have or want to at least have to try and start drawing in pastel. All right, there are the different kinds that we have described throughout several of our segments. There are the block style, that are more like chalk, this is the same thing only another version with absolutely gorgeous colors. There is the oil based pastel which is a lot of fun and it blends either with Q-tips, or actually I’ve tried it with a little bit of paint remover, lacquer thinner, and its an interesting process but I think just to keep the smells down and just to have a little bit of fun, just try blending it first with the professional Q-tip or the nubs, that we discussed earlier and I’ll explain those to you in just a minute. We also have the pastels that actually come in a pencil form; you sharpen these with a real pencil sharpener, a fat one for art pencils because as you can see, they are a little bit fatter than regular pencils and this is the cleanest way to go. I think some of you may have followed us through our segments to see just how dirty my fingers did get with these, but I sure did have a lot of fun doing it. Now these, you can buy these at most craft and art supply stores, and basically its tightly wound, very, very dense paper and as they get old, they do get a little bit rounder and you can peel them and pull the paper off and then tear it and then it will be sharper again. They’re not very expensive and they’re easy to use. For composition you’ll probably want a ruler, possibly a compass and in our next segment we’re going to be looking at the kinds of paper that you would use for this type of project."
