Unison Colour Associate Artist

About:

Living and studying in Brisbane, Australia, Darren has enjoyed a career in graphic design while reconnecting with his love of fine art. A long-held fascination with the natural world and the relationships between that which make it their home, inspires much of Darren’s work. He strives to capture the finest details in an aesthetic that celebrates the chosen subject, relating both a keen observation of reality with an infusion of whimsey.

Darren works exclusively with Unison Colour soft pastels for their pigment quality and smooth colour lay-down, combined with pastel pencil, to bring about added depth and detail to each piece. His work has been selected for various local, national and international group exhibitions and publications. He is a passionate conservation and animal rights advocate.

Colour Chart Guidance

We believe the colours in our web based colour chart are a faithful representation of our pastel range. But with any colours portrayed on the internet, there’s a whole heap of variables which mean that what you see, may not be what we see. That said, there’s some things that can be done to mitigate some of the variance.

Mobile phone and tablet screens tend to be pretty good for colour, so they’re always worth using, when viewing our colour chart.

We hate to say it, but cheaper computer displays, including laptops, can be rather hit and miss, in both colour and contrast, so they might not reveal the depth of the colour, as well as the true tone.

If you’re really keen on getting your computer up to speed on colour representation, you can use a calibration device to reach your display's fullest potential.

With all that said, if you think we’re way off the mark with any of the colours then, by all means let us know, and we’ll give it another shot.
