Collector’s Focus: Pastels

Western Art Collector is thrilled to unveil the inaugural special section Collector’s Focus: Pastels, which will be dedicated solely to this versatile and accessible medium. Pastels are widely popular among artists, and therefore collectors, because of their rich pigmentation and the fact that all you need is a piece of paper and you are ready to start creating. Whether working with soft pastels or hard, oil or chalk-based, pastels are easily portable and allow for quick work, making them a favored medium for painting en plein as well as in-studio. This feature will run in conjunction with the International Association of Pastel Societies’ 32nd Annual Juried Exhibition in Tucson, Arizona. Don’t miss this once-a-year opportunity!
