Soft Pastel

Soft Pastel has only 12 pictures. It is a color that is not very difficult to draw, but uses resolution. Understand light and shadow. Add color and keep blending. Use patience and calm. Pastel color in Thailand, people pay little attention. There is very little instruction compared to the watercolor that people are popular. Personally a minority, although they have learned watercolor, but prefer acrylic and pastel. It may be because they think they are more suitable for this style, like to use a lot of colors, tight colors, do not worry about drawing. If the color is not beautiful, the color is just painted over, can be added. Keep going until satisfied, even after many months, use a variety of techniques, do not have to be very limited, the price of equipment is not very high, any is that the pleasure of painting is enough, the work will reflect its own identity. 🥰

Founding and innovation: Nicolas-Jacques Conté (born 1755) was both a painter, chemist, physicist, balloonist, and inventor; during the Napoleonic Wars when France was short of granite from the British maritime blockade, he invented a method of producing modern pencil lead from a mixture of clay and granite in 1794 and opened his first pencil factory in 1795.

Pastel development: After a few years, Conté developed a "pencil without casing" (empty filling) and worked on the production of colors with permanent permanence ("fixed and unchangeable") to meet the needs of the painters of the time, which led to the birth of artistic and pastel pencils.
