Thank you for posting this.😀 I am so homesick for Pembs.😪 You video made me feel like I was home again. 🏴 My route generally took me from Waterloo Road in Hakin, to Little Newcastle, sometimes via Little Haven, which is a lovely place for both a picnic & a swim.
I bought my first Unison pastels over 20 years ago. I've owned multiple full sets. I use them in abstract drawings, watercolor/mixed media and figure drawing. Very beautiful product.
Beautiful story, now I feel I want to try them even more! I live in Spain, not shure if I can find them here… Good luck for the future, don’t lose the standards and traditions!
love your video! I am a Pastel artist, so I am very interested in knowing more about your collaboration. I dont know which gallery in London You are referring to? or if it is still active? thank you for a look behind the scenes.
Got my first box of unison as a Christmas present to myself, oh boy, they're good and the colours! My normal medium is watercolour so I just had to mix them with water on the paper and now I'm experimenting with dry and wetted pastel. Thank you.
Avoid using water unless you are blocking in a very thin first coat or cleaning the brushes. Winsor & Newton Artisan paints have their own mediums you can purchase that can also be cleaned up by water. Linseed oil, stand oil, impasto and thinner that can ALL BE CLEANED UP BY WATER. I'm blown away by that. The mediums are modified to be cleaned up by water so buy the special Artisan mediums. Don't use the regular stuff or you're going to need to clean your brushes like every other oil painter. W&N needs to yell this out because it took me ages to find out about it.
Thank you, for your wonderful video about how you create Unison pastels. I purchased my starter first set of 16 half sticks and what a joy to use. I love that each stick is hand made with such care and the colors fresh and bright.
Haha, I was curious why all the comments were so amused, the description gives a hint from the paint colour names and this is posted the day after April Fool’s. Still, did not expect that. It starts off so matter-of-fact.
By far the best introduction to priming a canvas. Too many of the American videos here on RU-vid were long-winded. One even mentioned unscrewing the lid on the pot of acrylic gesso!
I've only just started using pastels and was pleased to know we have a great brand from Britain and it's a small business instead of a large factory. So glad I saw this video, the beautiful colours of the pastels and the very friendly staff. Thank you.
