1.Color crayons

Pastels made from compressed chalk, pigment powder and adhesive. Paintings created with this type of crayon are called pastel paintings. The traditional binding material is gum tragacanth. When the binding material is linseed, the crayon is called oil pastel. Pastels are used to draw on rough paper, cardboard, or special canvases. Pastel drawings are easily damaged because they blur when touched. Fixatives can protect the image, but are not recommended because they darken the color. The best way to protect your pastel paintings is to frame them in glass.


When carefully cared for, pastel paintings retain their freshness and color longer than oil paintings or watercolors. They won't fade like oil paintings or become damp like watercolors. The beauty of pastel painting lies mainly in its soft, velvety surface, which gives the painting a depth and atmosphere of color harmony that his method could not achieve. Color pastels are particularly useful for portraits, still lifes, and some landscapes.
