10% Off Pastelmat Pads

Pastelmat combines the advantages of both the velour and the sanded paper surfaces to create an almost flat paper that can take and easily hold multiple layers of pastel. The paper has a very pleasant touch and as the surface is not pronounced it allows for precise details and delicate veils whilst also having the ability to grab and hold multiple layers of colour.

15% Off Diane Townsend Soft Form Pastels

Diane Townsend Pastels originated in a New York City studio loft in 1971. Diane shared a studio with a conservationist who translated a 15th century Italian formula for making pastels. This formula has evolved and been improved to become the basis of the Townsend pastels today. Diane started by making pastels for herself, some for friends, then for others and eventually for all of us.

The smooth flowing application and dense pigmentation is what makes the pastels so well sought after.

Best Price for Unison Pastels

Fantastic prices for both sets and singles every single day. Unison pastels have a creamy texture which results from them being hand rolled rather than extruded. The pastels are based on traditional pigments such as cadmiums, cobalts and natural and synthetic earths as these pigments have stood the test of time.
