Unison Colour Associate Artist

About:

My name is Natalia and my passion with pastels lasts since I entered School of Arts when was a teenager…

When I was 15 y.o. and still a student of the school of arts, I explored pastels for myself, and fell in love immediately. Despite the fact it wasn’t a part of the program like watercolor or oil, we were allowed to take some new art materials to plein airs we had in summer. I do remember that what I liked the most was this ease and softness of pastels sticks, this unique possibility to form volume on paper using your fingers and feel medium in your hands.

However, choice of pastels brands was limited at that time and foreign brands were not represented on Russian art market.

Time passed by and my real journey with this medium started in 2019 when I decided to return to this wonderful medium.

Unison Colour pastels sticks became my favorite from the first touch! I love the ease and softness of them, love wide color range and always high quality.

My artistic style is bright, sunny and happy. I adore bright colors and don’t hesitate to use pure color pigments in my works. With a help of pastels I unlock happiness and place it on paper to share with those who want to become part of my art world.

I actively share my knowledge, tips and tricks about pastels medium in my Instagram profile, record and share lessons on Patreon page and some cool video-processes on YouTube channel.

Join this wonderful pastels journey and I’m sure you won’t ever regret!

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.
