Unison Colour are always open to new ideas and this felt like a good one and so began a close collaboration over an 18 month period with Robert to create a new dark shade of a  much sought after indigo blue.

  1. I am quite new to soft pastels but have read many times that it’s best not to use black in your art. I am interested to learn why two blacks have been included in this darks set.

    1. Hi Netti,

      Thanks for your comment and enquiry.

      Black is indeed a colour that must be used with caution so the advice you have been given is correct.

      However, when used sparingly or with other colours to create a chromatic black (ie. has a shade of another colour in the mix and not just pure black), then this deep colour can add the necessary depth to your work.

      The blacks in this set you will discover when compared with other pastel brands are rich and velvety. Great for using with charcoal drawings as well.

      Hope this answers your query NETTI.

      All the best, Robert

  17. This new variety is lovely. Dark colors are always in style because they are so eye-catching, whether they are used in art design, clothing, or painting a house. In the PHD Education and Teaching Dissertation section, our office now has a dark grey color, which has improved employee productivity. Presently we are intending to add an inspirational illustration with a white tone to make it exquisite and give it an expert look.
