Pastels 

Pastels are made from pigment ground into a paste, then rolled into sticks with a small amount of binder. It is the most permanent in colour of all media, having no liquid binder that causes other media to darken, fade, yellow, crack or blister with time.

Pastels are a versatile dry painting medium that can be blended or applied with visible strokes with the texture of the paper showing through.

Pastels were used as far back as the Renaissance and first gained prominence in the eighteenth century, when they were used by Impressionists such as Edgar Degas and Mary Cassatt.
