Derwent Pastel Kit

[grande man]

With the interest in weathering here, I thought ya'll might be interested in the Derwent Brown Pastels kit from Hobby Lobby. At $4.99, it seems like a good buy, and after using the pastels, I prefer them to my old chalk assortment.

Here's the basic kit. Colors included are Umber, Sepia, Burnt Umber, Brown Ochre, Terracotta and Chocolate.

A hobby knife is great to scrape the material off the sticks into a usable powder.

Here's a shot of the first pastels "victim". :D It was done with the usual Dull Cote in addition to the pastels and is somewhat of a "quicky" job..

Wow, I'll have to run to Hobby Lobby pretty soon. The Loew Cornell's are fine, but there's lack of natural colors(IE black, brown, etc.)

HL also has black/grey pastels if you need them. They have a good selection.
