PLEIN AIR PAINTING WITH UNISON COLOUR PASTELS

See me painting at Sligachan on the Isle of Skye with Unison Colour pastels, seeking to capture the beauty of the landscape at Sligachan.

Painting on SAIT P500 sanded paper, watch as I seek to represent this wonderful view, with a powerful sky, and the river full of rocks and backed by a colourful autumnal landscape and the magnificent Cuillin mountains. The only place I’ve found SAIT P500 is Youdells art shop and they sell it in sheets or you can get it in a helpful roll.

See further how the painting is brought to completion in the studio back in Yorkshire, retaining the expressiveness and essence of the plein air painting.

Thanks again to my filmmaker, Tony, of T.P. Visuals

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.
