Ive been given a set of hard, carre pastels, but am not sure exactly when to use them. Ive tried them for underdrawing, but can I use them at later stages in a soft pastel painting?
Carres can be used on top of soft pastel for fine linear marks and detail. They will not tend to blend well, cutting through the soft pastel layers. Conte carre pastels are particularly good on their own on Ingres [laid] papers, where the fine ribbed line show through the pastel. The traditional French life studies are a typical example.
