Unison Colour : Soft Pastel : Set of 63 Half Sticks

Unison pastels are the creation of artist John Hersey. From a converted coach house in Northumberland, England, John and a small band of artisans lovingly make Unison pastels by hand, cutting no corners. They make small batches of 100 to 200 pastels at a time and each stick is hand-rolled and allowed to air dry. This produces a soft pastel which embraces the tooth of your drawing paper and leaves great results. There is a richness, a smoothness and an intensity that is unique to Unison. John Hersey developed Unison's colour scheme in unified cycles of 18 colours. He observed from nature that a single colour takes on endless variations of hue depending on the quality of light that strikes it. After 15 years of experimentation, his pastels reflect the true nature of colour.
