Unison Artist's Soft Pastel Portrait Set

The Unison Colour Artist's Soft Pastel Portrait Set is available in a range of 8, 18, 36 and 72 pastels. Based in the Northumberland National Park, Unison Colour began in the early 1980s, when artist John Hersey found that mass produced, factory made pastels simply did not offer the qualities he was looking for.

The pastels are still completely hand made and retain all the qualities of the originals; they are based on traditional pigments such as cadmiums, cobalts and natural and synthetic earths; mixed to John's meticulous recipes. The Unison Portrait Set comprises a carefully considered choice of pastels from across the colour range to represent a selection of portrait colours.
