BASIC MARK MAKING

The binder content is considerably higher in hard pastels, which makes them easy to sharpen and less likely to break.

They are also good for underpainting or outlining prior to overlaying with soft pastels.

Hard pastels come in a wide range of colours – both pale and extremely vivid
