Q » How to use pastel pencils in art?
15 Oct, 2025
A » Pastel pencils combine the precision of colored pencils with the softness of pastels, making them ideal for detailed artwork. Start by sketching lightly, layering colors gradually for depth. Blend using a tortillon or fingertip, and use fixative spray to secure your work. Choose textured paper designed for pastels to enhance grip and vibrancy. Experiment with techniques like hatching and cross-hatching to create dynamic effects while maintaining control over your strokes.
