The Complete

Beginner's Guide to 

Soft Pastels

​

A digital guide that has everything you need to get started with soft pastels.

 

 

Getting started with soft pastels can be confusing.

 

What are pastels? How do I know which type to get? What kind of paper should I use? Are there other supplies I need? How do I keep my skin and lungs safe from the pastel dust? Once I get them, how do I use them? How do you set everything up?

 

I answer all of these questions (& more) in this beautiful and detailed guide. Inside these digital pages, you'll learn all about soft pastels, the supplies you need, how to safely use them, exactly what I use in my studio, how I set everything up, and my personal recommendations on what you should buy. I've even linked everything for you!

Hey there,

I'm Karli Corr. 

​

With a degree in art and a license to teach, I make art and show others how to make art too.

​

Soft Pastels are easily my favorite medium to create with. These creamy, velvety sticks create beautiful layers of nearly pure pigment. I'm obsessed. 

​

When I started sharing my soft pastel paintings on social media, I realized a lot of people aren't familiar with soft pastels. Many people reached out to me wanting to get started with them, but they weren't sure how. 

​

So I sat down and wrote everything I knew and made this 37 page digital guide.

​

I am so excited to share my knowledge of this wonderful medium that I love,

so that you can love them too.
