Pastels are a drawing medium in the form of square or round sticks made from powder pigments mixed with a base and a binder to form a paste that hardens. Pastels are used in art classes in elementary schools and by professional artists. They are available in four basic forms: soft pastels, hard pastels, pastel pencils, and oil pastels.
