Basic Pastel Techniques Painting Art Books Tips How Paint Oip Canvas Oil Arts Crafts

Some basic pastel techniques:

Scumbling - When you apply loose broken color over another layer of color.

Hatching - When you apply parallel strokes close to one another.

Cross Hatching - Apply one set of hatch lines over another, usually in the opposite direction, and you have cross hatching.

Blending - Blending with pastels can be accomplished using two different techniques. You have optical blending where the colors are not actually mixed together but instead lines are drawn closely together as in hatching for instance. The other type of blending is when the colors are actually mixed together, by rubbing with your fingers or using tools like blending stumps.
