chalk pastels

Chalk pastels are art materials composed of pigment mixed with a binder, formed into sticks that resemble large chalks. They produce vibrant, matte colors and allow artists to blend shades easily for soft transitions. Because they are made primarily of pigment, they result in rich, intense hues and can be layered to create depth. Chalk pastels are often used for detailed work or expressive art, but they can be messy because the pigment can smudge and dust. They are favored for their ease of use and ability to produce vivid, textured effects on paper or other surfaces.
