PASTEL
Use your new drawing skills and add a little color with pastel! Originating in Northern Italy in the 16th century, Chalk Pastel was produced from pure powdered pigments mixed with enough gum Arabic, fish or animal glue to bind them. Oil pastels first appeared with Sakura Cray-Pas in 1925 from Osaka, Japan. The term "Cray-Pas" came from the company's invention of combining non-toxic crayons and pastel pigments, eliminating dust while managing to keep the strength and opacity of traditional soft pastels. Pablo Picasso popularized and modernized the oil pastel.
