High-quality, pigment rich pastels that are perfect for someone just starting out seascape painting, or as an addition to your own pastel collection
The pastels are made in Northumberland and contain only pure pigments in a cycle of related hues, instead of adding white or black to the colours. The result is intense, vibrant colour not muddied by the blending of colours. Unison's pastels contain very little binder, making them truly soft and smooth. They are mixed to meticulous recipes and are based on traditional pigments such as cadmiums, cobalts and natural and synthetic earths. Sticks vary slightly due to the hand-making process.
Tricia Taylor is a Master Pastellist from Australia with many years of experience working with pastels. Recognised for capturing the beauty of light, Tricia’s award-winning seascapes are her speciality.
This set provides a palette suitable for capturing water and crashing waves. The addition of light violets and pinks help create the white water of a crashing wave. For softer green oceans and foregrounds of the seascape, this set includes a lot of low-intensity colours with soft grey-greens and purple tones added. A variety of seascapes can be achieved, from the soft green northern water to the tropics. To balance the set, Tricia has added lemons for sunrise and sunsets that can also be used to warm and grey your colours by blending. They are presented in a professional blue box.
The 63 half stick set is great for working en plein air. Just the right size to carry easily. With similar colours to the 72 full stick set, it has all you need to capture your seascapes beautifully from deep blues and greens to soft purple and pinks’.
