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.

The new colours have been welcomed by a wide range of artists with different levels of ability in different disciplines who use naturally use Unison Colour because of their quality who now find the new darks an essential part of their working practice and now it would appear every pastel artist it cannot do without!

  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

Because of the workload, they are unable to pay attention to their studies and it's impacting their progress badly.

  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.
