Pastels are a great medium to explore. A look at the differences between chalk pastels and oil pastels and tips for using each to its best advantage.
<p>Pastels are a great medium to explore—all you need to get started are the pastels themselves and a piece of paper. You can make beautiful scenes with pastels alone or use them to add color and detail to mixed media work. If you’ve never used pastels before, it may be hard to decide which to try first.
