What are the types of pastels used in art?
There are primarily three types of pastels used in art: soft pastels, hard pastels, and oil pastels. Soft pastels have a higher pigment concentration and a creamy texture, allowing for vibrant colors and smooth blending. Hard pastels are firmer and produce finer lines, making them ideal for detailed work. Oil pastels, on the other hand, have a waxy consistency and allow for a different texture and layering technique, often resembling oil paint.
What happens when you mix oil pastels with water?
