This set of 36 sticks from Unison contains a selection of landscape-themed hand-rolled soft pastels.

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.

Pastels measure approximately 2-1/8 in long × 5/8 in diameter (54 mm × 16 mm). Sticks vary slightly due to the hand-making process.

Born & educated in the Netherlands, Michelle Lucking has always had a close, emotional affinity to water. She was inspired at an early age by the beauty of light reflections on the canal that ran alongside her house. This developed into a deep love of the ocean in her adult years.

Today Michelle lives by the coast in North Somerset, England, and spends many hours photographing the changeable & powerful nature of the sea & sky in order to create unique compositions for her paintings. Through the use of Unison Colour soft pastels she ultimately strives to paint not only an image, but also to capture the sense of emotion & wonder evoked by the ocean.
