Unison Colour and Associate Artist, Nina Squire, are excited to announce the next 5 Day Pastel Challenge starting 9am (UK time) Monday 1st February, running for 5 consecutive days.

Over the course of the 5 days Nina will challenge you to create ‘Old Harry’- a mixed landscape of skies, sea and beach with the iconic Dorset landmark as the main focal point – by offering tips and guidance through a combination of videos and detailed worksheets each day.

There will be a supported Live online Q&A session with Nina each evening at 7pm.

We hope to see you there!

    I really enjoyed this 5 day challenge. I learnt so much and it gave me more confidence to try developing my own style. This challenge also gave me an opportunity to explore the quality of Unison soft pastels. I have used many different types of pastel and finally I have found one that works for me. I will be looking for more challenges and building my collection of colours. Thank you to the team at Unison for organising this. I hope it is something you develop and continue.

    This was such a great course. A fantastically well organized and well thought out five day challenge. Nina Squire is an excellent tutor and I love that Unison offer these chances to learn new techniques and be part of such a positive community. A big thanks to Helen and Oliver for their nonstop help above and beyond with support and tech help throughout the five days. Please bring us more!

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.
