As some of you may know from a previous post of mine, I have only quite recently (over the past year) rekindled my love for creating art after a gap of about twenty years. Not twenty planned years of taking a break from art, but just twenty years where life happened… and art didn’t.
At Artsavingsclub we are passionate about the products we stock and equally curious about them. This feeling is especially prevalent when two different products share the same perceived function. Why is one more expensive? Does it have more features or a more acclaimed brand name behind it? Bottom line, is it really better, or is it just overpriced?
The Caran D’Ache Pastel Cubes are an extra-fine dry pastel developed in close collaboration with master pastel artists. A large assortment of cubes, mixed to meet the most demanding standards. Caran d’Ache uses completely natural binders, which gives the pastels a powdery texture and wonderful coverage. Pastel cubes are particularly suited to blocking large areas of colour as they can be used with the flat side against the paper. It allows artists the flexibility to produce both fine details as well as large surfaces with the same colour. Pastels can be messy and you don’t want them to transfer all over your bag or clothes. The Derwent Pastel wrap is perfect for keeping your pastels in excellent condition when you are out painting or going to classes.
