Excerpt from Handbook to Pastel Pastel, from the Latin pastella, a little stick, is a kind of painting executed with soft crayons of various colours. These crayons are made of a paste containing one or more colours mixed with more or less white; for, in this painting, by mixing white with the other tones beforehand, an infinite variety of tints is produced, each colour diminishing by almost imperceptible gradations, from the most intense shade to pure white; and several colours are ground together to form a scale of greys, or broken tints. In fact, it is painting with coloured crayons, and there is no better preparation for it than the making of charcoal, red chalk, or crayon studies. One may even begin by studies in charcoal, worked over with pastel. This kind of painting is both the easiest and the most pleasing. To reproduce the bloom on beautiful fruit, the fresh colouring of complexion, or the charm of landscape, nothing serves better than the powder of these many coloured crayons.
