I have a white dog and lots of pastels...but are any of them the right color when I need them to be?
apagefineart.com[/SIZE]Your still life looks good, as is. I’m not familiar with Carre personally, but suspect they may be a semi hard pastel. If that is the case, you make like to use them as your first layer in future paintings. You can then go over them with a soft pastel like Rembrandt. I’m not sure which brands are available to you. Just keep going.

Karen I think the “Carre” pastels are fully named Cretacolor Carre. They are similar in size and shape to NuPastels, but somewhat softer. They have more pigment than NuPastel so also a bit more expensive, but still affordable. Look at Jerry’s Artarama for a comparison of the two. I bought the entire set there when on a super sale, and haven’t been disappointed.

www.peggybraeutigam.comThanks, Peggy. I’ll look into that. Some of the NuPastels are extremely hard. A softer version would be great.
