Pastel Drawing Blending Guide

Master blending techniques for soft, hard, and oil pastels

Filter by Technique

Highlight Pastel Type

Soft Pastels

High pigment, low binder. Vibrant colors, easy blending, more fragile.

Finger Blending

Beginner

Use your finger to softly blend and smooth pastel pigment on the paper surface.

Soft Pastel: Excellent — soft pastels blend effortlessly with finger pressure

Hard Pastel: Good — requires more pressure, builds up gradually

Oil Pastel: Good — produces smooth buttery blends

Paper Tooth: Medium to heavy tooth (180-300gsm). Too smooth and pigment won't hold; too rough and blending is uneven.

Tips: Keep fingers clean between colors. Use light circular motions. Natural oils help blend but can affect archival quality.

Tortillion / Paper Stump

Beginner

Use rolled paper stumps for precise blending in small areas without finger oils.

Soft Pastel: Excellent — ideal for detailed blending and softening edges

Hard Pastel: Very Good — tortillions pick up hard pastel well for controlled blending

Oil Pastel: Fair — oil pastels can clog the tortillion quickly

Paper Tooth: Any tooth weight works. Tortillions excel on medium tooth papers.

Tips: Clean tortillion by unwinding or sanding the tip. Use different tortillions for light and dark values.

Cloth / Chamois Blending

Beginner

Use a soft cloth or chamois leather for large area blending and smoothing.

Soft Pastel: Excellent — chamois creates ultra-smooth gradients across large areas

Hard Pastel: Good — works well for backgrounds and large tonal areas

Oil Pastel: Good — cloth can create interesting textures with oil pastels

Paper Tooth: Medium tooth recommended. Heavy tooth can shred cloth fibers.

Tips: Use clean sections of cloth for each color. Chamois can be washed and reused. Paper towels work for rougher blending.

Eraser Lifting

Intermediate

Lift pastel pigment off the paper using a kneaded eraser to create highlights and lighter values.

Soft Pastel: Excellent — soft pastels lift easily, great for creating highlights

Hard Pastel: Good — hard pastels lift but may require more eraser pressure

Oil Pastel: Poor — oil pastels adhere strongly and resist erasing

Paper Tooth: Medium tooth works best. Heavy tooth holds pigment too firmly for easy lifting.

Tips: Use a kneaded eraser shaped to a point for detail work. dab rather than rub to avoid smearing.

Rubbing Alcohol Wash

Advanced

Apply rubbing alcohol with a brush to dissolve pastel pigment and create watercolor-like washes.

Soft Pastel: Very Good — soft pastels dissolve well in alcohol for wash effects

Hard Pastel: Good — hard pastels produce lighter washes

Oil Pastel: Fair — some oil pastels react to alcohol creating interesting textures

Paper Tooth: Heavy tooth recommended (250gsm+). Paper must withstand liquid application.

Tips: Use 91% isopropyl alcohol. Apply with a soft brush. Test on scrap first. Work quickly as alcohol evaporates fast.

Fixative Blending & Layering

Intermediate

Use workable fixative between layers to build up color without muddying previous layers.

Soft Pastel: Excellent — essential technique for building layers in soft pastel

Hard Pastel: Very Good — fixative helps hard pastels build up without disturbing underlayers

Oil Pastel: Poor — fixative does not adhere well to oil pastel surface

Paper Tooth: Any tooth weight. Fixative restores tooth for additional layers.

Tips: Spray in thin even coats from 12 inches away. Let dry completely between coats. Use workable fixative, not final fixative, during the process.
