| Diane Townsend Artists' Pastels Diane Townsend Artists' Pastels are made from the purist pigments available. They are beautifully shaped and molded by hand with absolute quality control observed for each pastel. Our goal is to express the character and texture of each pigment. The pastels are not mixed with any type of chalk, filler or cheaper pigment which can compromise the richness, brightness and density of a color. Every color, every pastel is unique; it reveals the particular hue and luminosity of pigment. www.townsendpastels.com |
