Pastel drawings and illustrations are works of art done on a variety of surfaces—such as canvas or textured paper—using soft pastels, hard pastels, or pastel pencils to create an image. Pastels are sticks of pigment that are both vibrant and very blendable. Pastel illustrations and drawings combine the impeccable detail of pencil drawings with the rich colors of a painting. The creative artists on Etsy create a wide range of custom and one-of-a-kind pastel drawings and illustrations to add to your art collection and dress up the walls of your home or office.
