About
Learn to sketch and draw with pastels — pure, powdered pigment with a binder formed into sticks, kind of like crayons but with a more luminous color effect. You'll learn, through a step-by-step process, how to mix and layer your pastel colors. With your new skills, you'll create a beautiful still life from observation.
