A 5 part series where I show an experimental and fun way of using Clairefontaine Pastelmat to achieve crisp details for a complicated subject matter ie; hedgerows.

In this 1st part I shall show you a particular way of scratching the surface of Clairefontaine Pastelmat with a wooden golf tee or mini barbecue stick before laying down pastel to achieve a crisp, fine detail otherwise impossible with pastel.

Lovely course

I have watched these tutorials so many times. I have found they are great to go to when you are staring at that blank page and don’t know where or how to begin. They are little snippets of inspiration to get you going. Give them a try.
Thank you Cathy 🙂

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.
