Product information "Diane Townsends Terrages Pastels 12-Set"
Diane Townsend Artists's Pastels
Diane Townsend Artists’ Pastels are made from the purest pigments available to artists. Her emphasis is on maintaining the depth and clarity of each color, and allowing the character and texture of each pigment to be expressed. The pastels are entirely made by hand from the mixing of pigments to shaping the pastels to labeling and packaging, resulting in a fine drawing and painting tool. Her pastels are not combined with base of chalks, fillers or cheaper pigments, which can create uniformity in shape and texture, but which are lacking in richness and density. Townsend pastels do not build up a gray chalky film, therefore artists can rework their paintings without losing clarity.
Terrages Pastels
Terrages pastels are recommended for artists who wish to open the surface of the paper and work the pigment into it. Terrages is made by adding pumice stone to give the paper ‘tooth’ on which to layer color. Terrages pastels are made in size and shape that can accept a more forceful application without crumbling. Terrages is available in 190 colors.
Terrages Pastels are larger pastels containing crushed pumice stone which enables the artist to open up the surface of paper and work in more color. The added pumice will also help create complex layers of color and a luminous sensation of depth and space. Terrages pastels are made in a size and shape that can accept a more forceful application without crumbling.
Each color of Terrages pastels is available in several shades.
Terrages, approx. 1 and 1/2″ long and 1″ across , and 6/8″ thick.
