Unison Colour Associate Artist

About:

Having graduated at UCA Maidstone with BA Hons Illustration in 2007, Emma Colbert began working on portrait commissions and producing her own series of wildlife pastel paintings. She is now a leading animal portrait artist, endorsed by Unison Soft Colour Pastels. She has had the honour of creating colour selections of soft pastels for them designed specifically for painting animals.

After discovering pastel at a young age, Emma knew this was the medium in which she wanted to develop. An equal passion for animals has fuelled a love of painting them. Using pastels in a painterly way Emma creates highly detailed, vibrant work inspired by the beauty of nature and light.

Wanting to spend more time in nature, Emma currently lives and works in a motorhome with her partner Andrew and their miniature dachshund Brocci. While touring around Europe this has really opened up the opportunity to photograph wildlife and spend long days painting in her studio set up in the back of the camper. You can follow Emma’s art and travels on her blog.

Emma was recently awarded the ‘Reader’s Choice’ award from Artists & Illustrators Artist of the Year exhibition. Her work continues to grow in popularity with collectors worldwide. With her current travels Emma hopes to broaden the reach of her art by demoing and exhibiting in the many countries she visits.

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.
