Terry Ludwig Soft Pastels - Liz Haywood-Sullivan Skies and Water, Set of 60

Frustrated with the lack of color options available and few choices for very soft pastels, Terry Ludwig began experimenting with formulas for making his own pastels in 1995. His goal was to create a vast array of color in pastels that were uniformly soft across all densities of hue.

The results were more than 500 intense colors, some of which are unavailable elsewhere, in a unique square pastel.

Each pastel is crafted with a broad range of pigments by hand with minimal natural binders. This renders a highly concentrated, velvety pastels. The square shape delivers thick, broad strokes or thin, precise lines where necessary.-ﾠIndividual pastels measure approximately 1-1/2" x 1/2" x 1/2". Because each pastel is handcrafted, the size and shape may vary slightly.

"This set is something I have been working on for a long time, made up of colors found in two of my favorite subjects, skies and water. Working closely with master colorist Terry Ludwig and his team in creating it, I was mindful of choosing colors not commonly found in other sets to prevent replication. In fact, some of the blues and grays were specially formulated for this set. With these pastels you should have all the colors, and values, you need to create a complete sky or water painting. Enjoy!" - Artist Liz Haywood-Sullivan.
