A Pastel (UK: /ˈpæstl/; US: /pæˈstɛl/) is an art medium in the form of a stick, consisting of pure powdered pigment and a binder. The pigments used in pastels are the same as those used to produce all colored art media, including oil paints; the binder is of a neutral hue and low saturation. The color effect of pastels is closer to the natural dry pigments than that of any other process.
Pastels have been used by artists since the Renaissance, and gained considerable popularity in the 18th century, when a number of notable artists made pastel their primary medium.
An artwork made using pastels is called a pastel (or a pastel drawing or pastel painting). Pastel used as a verb means to produce an artwork with pastels; as an adjective it means pale in color.
Pastel sticks or crayons consist of pure powdered pigment combined with a binder. The exact composition and characteristics of an individual pastel stick depends on the type of pastel and the type and amount of binder used. It also varies by individual manufacturer.

A time lapse film of my painting of Barney, a lovely golden retriever. I made it using pastels and pastel pencils on sanded paper (Fisher 400). This was a commission for Barney's family, and the painting is about 14x10". I hope you enjoy watching. To answer the FAQs that I usually get: This painting took about 12 hours work in total. I took my own photos of Barney to use as references. I don't use water or any fluids. The background and some of the underpainting is done using hard pastel sticks. The 'brush' looking thing I use on it at the start is a silicon 'colour shaper' tool: it blends the colours. Most of the work is done with pastel pencils. I use many brands of pastels as they all come in different colours. Mostly I use Faber Castell & Schwann C...
I don’t wanna go halfway across the globe
To find things that I don’t wanna know
I can seek for a long time through all that stuff
To find something that I don’t really care about
There’s not much about
But when you smile
You make the world seem a home
And when you smile
How can a smile just say it all?
I don’t wanna be what I cannot see
And it feels alright; you’ll in my heart remain
I walked through the door and I picked up my soul
But the keys were stolen and the door won’t open
No, it’s just my luck
But when you smile
You make the world seem a home
And when you smile
I guess I’ll just stay at home
I can’t describe this feeling
It hammers my brain
I can’t deny this feeling
It drives me insane
Always the same
But when you smile
You make the world seem a home
And when you smile
Automatically yours
