Color is emotion, it\u2019s temperature, it\u2019s light. Pastel is generous: you blend it with your fingers, layer it fearlessly, erase it, and paint over it. And best of all: you don\u2019t need water, solvents, or to wait for it to dry.<\/strong> <\/p>\n You shouldn’t have any limits either.<\/p>\n Start with the first free lesson.
