Green Week with Richeson Pastels!

As the snow begins to melt and the first hints of spring return to Central New York, pastel season is right around the corner. With brighter light, budding trees, and landscapes coming back to life, there’s no better time to reach for one of the most expressive and satisfying mediums available: soft pastels!

 

At The Art Store in Syracuse, we’re proud to carry the exceptional Jack Richeson Hand-Rolled Soft Pastels - a favorite among artists who value rich color, a luxurious feel, incredible layerability, and remarkable versatility! 

 

Jack Richeson pastels are known for their handcrafted character. The pigments, binder, and filler are blended into a paste and formed into sticks that are rolled and finished by hand, then air-dried. This process results in slight natural variations in shape and surface (sometimes even subtle fingerprints!) hallmarks of a product made with real craftsmanship rather than mass-production.

 

This hand-rolling process allows the pastels to remain beautifully soft and pigment-rich, giving artists that buttery application and effortless blending that makes pastel such a joy to work with. The result is vibrant, velvety color that layers beautifully and responds wonderfully to different techniques.

 

One of the most exciting features of the Richeson pastel line is its extraordinary range of color. With over 500 individual colors, artists can explore a complete spectrum organized into helpful color families (Reds, Yellows, Greens, Blues, Earth, and more). Whether you're capturing the fresh greens of early spring, warm earth tones in a landscape, or dramatic skies at sunset, there’s a Richeson pastel perfectly suited to the moment!

 

At The Art Store, we’re known for offering luxury art supplies at great prices, and Jack Richeson pastels are no exception. Artists love the professional quality and generous size of these pastels. And they love our pricing even more.
