Here’s what’s included along with the small box of pastels: Here’s every art-related thing I took with me in my carry-on suitcase. So what else did I take? Let’s have a look: So painting with a small box of pastels is usually an exercise of letting go! There’s no way, with the limitations of the small box of pastels, that you will match the colour you see accurately. The thing about using a small selection of pastels successfully is to focus on getting the values right. But I have to tell you, it was some trick using these pastels and only these pastels! But it sure made travelling easier. There are some darks, quite a few lights, and a selection of middle values. Unison Colour’s 16-piece half-stick set of soft pastels Here’s a picture of the pastels in the box: I had a small box of pastels – I’m talking small!! It has 16 half-sticks and is extremely light. I looked at taking a small Sennelier set but decided to stick with the Unison Colour theme. But on the road, when every gram and square centimetre count, this was too bulky and heavy! While in the studio, all work was done with pastels from their classic starter set of 36.
(They are updating their website but soon I’ll be able to direct you to my page there!) Through the whole Challenge, I decided to use only Unison Colour pastels as a way to acknowledge the honour of being invited to become a Unison Colour Associate Artist.

And what’s more, I only travelled with carry-on luggage! So how could I fit everything plus art supplies? The answer was a small box of pastels and small pieces of paper (and a pared down collection of clothes!). Somehow I only missed one day despite the fact that I was travelling two of the four weeks. Last month I participated in HowToPastel’s 31-paintings-in-31-days Challenge.
