Pastels and Drawing Supplies

Drawing is often the first experience we have of art. Many a toddler will grab any handy tool (marker, crayon, lipstick...) and use it to express life’s exuberance. Borealis Color is proud to offer a wide range of tools for marking, smudging, blending, coloring, and otherwise drawing to your heart’s content. (We do not, however, carry lipstick!)

Both a drawing and a painting medium, pastel offers seductively rich color and relative ease of use. At Borealis Color, we are proud to carry both professional and student grade soft pastels and related products.
