pastel drawing
Soft pigment picture
A pastel drawing is artwork made with pastel sticks—pigment compressed into chalk-like form.
The medium produces soft, powdery marks with rich color saturation.
Pastel drawings occupy a middle ground between drawing and painting, since the color is applied directly without liquid binder: The museum's collection includes pastel drawings by Degas.
