Rembrandt pastels are made from the purest pigments and mixed with the finest quality kaolin clay binder. No pigments containing heavy metals, such as cadmium, lead, and cobalt, are used in production, ensuring that the pastels have no hard bits or sharp edges. These pastels are harder in consistency than many soft pastels, allowing for more control and definition in your painting
The versatility and ease of use of Rembrandt soft pastels have caused a resurgence in pastels as a mixed media since their composition makes them inter-mixable with many different materials.

Pastel pencils changed my way of thinking about creating and allowed me a lot of freedom, but I confess that I’ve always been a little reserved about trying soft pastels. My childhood memory of pastels involves chalky dust everywhere and a lack of control I was hesitant to repeat.

“It is said in the art world that I have carved myself a niche into the South African market whereby I have evolved my style of art that is both unique and accurate, which I have labelled as “impressionistic realism”. I am regarded by the public and my fellow peers as a master in the pastel medium, and I am classed amongst the top echelon in my area of speciality” – David Johnson.

Just when you thought you have tried out all types of pastel paper, along comes a new one that promises to be better. I have heard much about Clairefontaine’s Pastelmat paper, but I was a little sceptical. After all good pastel paper is plentiful. Would Pastelmat offer something different? Keep reading to find out plus check out the video review below.
Its fair to say I’ve fallen for pastels hook, line and sinker. I do believe we each have a medium that is meant for us. From the moment I first put this medium to paper I knew I had found ‘my’ medium, the medium that finally magically set my inner-artist free. Pastels are renowned for being bright and intensely pigmented, easy to use and popular in many genres.
Van Gogh is a brand for the modern artist with an eye for quality. The Van Gogh soft pastels have a strikingly high colour transfer. These creamy, artists’ pastels have outstanding warmth and colour strength. It is possible to work cleanly as the pastels give off little dust. Due to the hard structure, the pastel is ideal for drawing portraits and landscapes and yet they are extremely soft and blendable in their application. The square form is highly suited for detailed work (by using the point) as well as for colouring large areas (by holding the pastel flat). The colours can be used directly, built up in coloured layers, blended with a cloth, or diluted with mineral spirits to create rich, transparent washes or can also be used with water for watercolour effects. They can also be used in combination with other dry or wet media to produce myriad effects.
Product features:
Pure and brilliant colours.
Made with pure pigments for overall excellent lightfastness.
Suitable for delicate work as well as for large and expressive use.
Less likely to crumble thanks to the balanced combination of kaolin and pigment.
Do not contain any pigments based on the metals lead, cadmium or cobalt.
Suitable for all grounds that have a sufficient surface structure (such as paper, cardboard, stone, asphalt and wood).
