Comment on Pastels Anyone? by Sara

Pat,

I have some Mungyo semi-hard pastels and use them in the first stages of the painting. Many pastelist use Nupastel or faber castell polychromos, but I bought these mungyo at a hobby lobby and they are a bit softer than the Nupastels.
i did have a set of the softer square shaped pastels from Mungyo but I think I may have given them to my step daughter. They are pretty good for a starter set. They are student grade though and I’m not sure about the light fastness of them. They are softer than say a Rembrandt, and a little more “sandy” in texture. but not as soft as say a Scminke or Great American or Terry Ludwig. I think their gallery line is supposed to be of better quality. Dick Blick just came out with some new Artist’s pastels and so far I’ve heard they are good with good lightfastness ratings and they are a really good value. They are made in England by a very popular manufacturer over there. They are of a medium softness. softer than rembrandt, but not as soft as the real softies. I think they would be great for the beginning of a painting when you don’t want to clog the tooth of the paper. I will order some of them at some point when I do my next Dick Blick order. I want some of the medium soft pastels and am not happy with the Rembrandts I have. The reds/violets/pinks/roses fade to almost white when left out in the light. this is not outside light but just the light inside the house. It happened in about 6 months time so I won’t be buying them anymore!

Hi Gina!

I am around, but have been quite sick so unable to paint for awhile. I am painting with pastels a lot lately but not the past few weeks as we just moved and now I’m down with a cold on top of everything else. I do intend to come back here and revamp this blog in the near future. the website will be changed a bit with a front page and then a link to the blog part etc. I hope to see you back. I don’t know when I will be back so check in every now and again:)

Thanks for stopping by!
Sara

Hi, I am also suffering from all over pain, and am interested in watercolors. I’ve been a bit afraid of them due to all my sensitivites, so I’m encouraged to see they didn’t seem to bother you. I was wondering if you are still around. I’d like to see more of your paintings. Hope you are well, God bless.

Hi Peggy,

As you can see I haven’t written anything here in quite awhile. i do plan to re-do the website, and have the blog be a separate page. anyway, Am I to understand that you have fibro also? Do you have other health issues? I would love to chat with you about this and the art. I can’t wait to see some of your artwork. It has been good therapy and I hope to someday be able to make a living at it. Luckily for me I won’t need much by that time. Maybe we can message each other on FB. That way we can give each other our number etc. Take care and I wish for you a pain free day tomorrow as well. I am lucky in that I am able to use narcotics for pain. It has made the world of difference as well as some of the other meds that help with nerve pain etc. I hope you are abel to get some kind of relief for the pain.

Take care,
Sara

Hi Sara,
First of all, I was very happy to see your friend request! O.K., I have not accepted it yet, but I will! I got excited about your watercolor gallery and everything I saw there! I loved the vivid color of your main 3 pieces highlighting your categories, the flowers, southwest, and whimsy. I would love to chat with you back and forth as each of our health allows..and understand there may be spaces that “lie fallow” due to fibro or whatever is going on….no big deal…I haven’t read your blog entirely, but yes, I get the point that you have some time constraints due to health..as do I. We have that it common, as well as our desire to do art as coping, but beyond that – hopefully as an inspiration to others! I do some photography, a bit of watercolor pencil, and also poetry and other writing. I’ll post some of my work when I am able, and I will send you a link then. I wish you a pain free day tomorrow, Peggy

Matt,
Thanks for the advice. I will do this in the future. I have learned so much from other artists comments! Thanks again,

Someone may have already told you this, but one easy fix for the flaking thing is to just add a few drops of glycerin to each well when you fill it with your new paint. Give a thorough mix to incorporate the glycerin well. It extends the drying time (more glycerin equals longer drying time), actually makes the paint more creamy and prevents or greatly curtails that flaking you discuss.

Happy painting.
