OLKI soft pastels are available in sets of 16 and 48 colours selected for special purposes: portraits, landscapes, life drawings and general drawings. They are made of extra-fine pigments and binders for softer blending and smudging. At the same time, chalks are firm enough to provide sharp lines where necessary. OLKI pastels have natural soft colours and can successfully be used for landscape, still life or portrait drawing. Also, they can be used for mixed media techniques with gouache, acrylic, watercolours or ink. For OLKI pastels we’d recommend using textured surfaces such as pastel paper, coated paper or fine sandpaper. For mixed media techniques, RUSART Fine Mixed Media Paper works best. Graphic Set has more shades of neutral and earthy colours that artists used most for shading and life drawing.
