Why is this an unsung hero?
What’s unique about pastels is how you can push them about. Paula Rego described pastels as “like painting with your fingers.” The colours are strong and make harder marks than malleable paint. It’s a tactile material, I use my fingers a lot more to create, it’s part of the joy.​
