Pastel is made from natural pigment. Its color is very authentic and pure. No solvent is added to it, and it does not fade or crack. One of the unique characteristics of pastel is the hazy effect. Pastel is popular in Europe and the U.S., and well received by artists and collectors. It certainly is worthy of study by the people in Taiwan.
