Unison Soft Pastel Half Sticks High Pigment Set Of 120 For Artist Drawing

Unison pastels are the creation of artist John Hersey. From a converted coach house in Northumberland, England, John and a small band of artisans lovingly make Unison pastels by hand, cutting no corners, accepting no compromise. They make small batches of 100 to 200 pastels at a time. Each stick is hand rolled and allowed to air dry. This produces a soft pastel which is eager to embrace the tooth of your drawing paper. There is a richness, a smoothness and an intensity you will find nowhere else.\n John Hersey developed Unison's colour scheme in unified cycles of 18 colours. He observed from nature that a single colour takes on endless variations of hue depending on the quality of light that strikes it. After 15 years of experimentation, his pastels reflect the true nature of colour. They have a colour scheme that flows from nature itself, seducing the eye with its power.\nPlease note, colours may vary.\npdf=unison_120_set_colours.pdf Click here to see the colours contained within th.
