Pictures of Different Pastel Sets

HarvestMoon · #1 10-11-2005, 01:33 PM

Since I have spent days organizing and re-organizing the very best of my pastels, I thought some of you pondering which sets to add to your wish list might like to see the pictures- none are whole sticks- they are all broken pieces so that I can see them all without the labels and all at once. Hope you enjoy my obsessive pastel nature.

First is the Great Americans:

Then the Mount Visions:

Then the Unisons:

Then Giraults:

And BlockX:

Please feel free to add your own to this thread so we can see them all!

lol - I was just about to ask the exact same thing....

tell ya what - you take the GAs and I will take the Mt Visions and Giraults (since I can't get those here)...sound good?

Well, okay....works for me!

We get the boxes too, right?

Well, sorry guys, but I put the half on there that had not been used or dropped (for the most part) on the floor in the picture. Um, the goat ate them? But when I win the Lotto.....I'll just send you new full sets.... of course, I would have to start PLAYING the Lotto, but my husband does not like the math...

Wise man...

As a longtime professional pastelist let me point out that I have NOwhere near the amount of pastels you do! <giggle> Why is that? I need to rectify this problem, I guess.

I think that means you are justified in submitting a letter to Santa, Deborah!!! lol.

Khadres · #9 10-11-2005, 05:36 PM

Yes, Deborah, you need to get into acquisition mode! Surely you need a few more Ludwigs? A couple dozen GAs? I know how you are able to resist, tho....with that one box you use already full up, why buy more, right? Wish I had that box! Any chance of you showing that box again? I'm sure Donna hasn't seen it, etc.

khourianya · #10 10-11-2005, 05:51 PM

ohh - yes, please do, Deborah! And anyone else too, who wants to show it off!!!!! I could look at pastel boxes all day! Plus, I need to figure out exactly what colours I am lacking!!!! My new pastel box is only half full!!!!

Khadres · #11 10-11-2005, 05:54 PM

How lovely! Half a box EMPTY and just waiting to be filled! You'll have to think of what those missing colours were when you last plein aired! Greens? Earths? Blues?
The choice is enough to fill another ten boxes! Wheeeeeeeeeee!

Shaking my head in disbelief - I have nowhere that amount of pastels. And my boxes don't look that either - even after I spent weeks organizing, culling, re-organizing. After the last painting, they are a mess again.

"Santa" frowns because the accountant ("Santa's" other hat) says the pastels are write-offable but gifts aren't!

Here's my box:

Everything's in it--my GAs, Schminckes, Unisons, Ludwigs, Giraults, a few Nupes and Townsends. I only have one other set (more like leftovers) and that's the giant Senneliers. The box is approximately 16x30". That's all, folks!
