But the comparisons and values are good in this image. I will post a formal one ASAP.

A blog about all things pastel. The backstory on the "medium of pigment," interviews, technique, featured artists, and my own art. "Pastel" is a new box of eye-candy, full of possibilities and waiting for the creative touch of the artist.
