Chalk & Pastels

What are chalk & pastels?

Chalk and pastels are soft colouring materials that allow you to create vibrant, matte effects on paper and cardboard. They can be blended easily with your fingers or tools, making them perfect for shading, gradients, and expressive drawings. Unlike paints or markers, chalk and pastels give a soft, textured finish that brings depth and warmth to your artwork.

Different types of chalk & pastels

At Vaessen Creative, chalk & pastels are part of the drawing and writing supplies collection. Soft pastels offer rich pigmentation and are easy to blend, while hard pastels allow for sharper lines and more control. Chalk pastels are perfect for bold colours with a traditional chalky texture, and pastel pencils provide the same effect in a more precise, less messy form. Some sets also include a wide range of colours, giving you the tools to create detailed artwork or large expressive designs.

Creative hobbies & projects with chalk & pastels

Chalk and pastels can be used in many hobbies. In children’s crafting, they are a playful and fun way to create colourful drawings or decorate posters and cards. In Easter crafting, pastel tones are perfect for designing cheerful spring motifs like eggs, flowers, and bunnies. Another inspiring use is in autumn crafting, where warm colours such as orange, brown, and red can be blended to make seasonal decorations, cards, or illustrations. With chalk and pastels, your projects gain a soft and artistic touch.

Why choose chalk & pastels for your projects?

The main advantage of chalk and pastels is their blendability. You can layer and smudge them to achieve unique effects that are difficult to replicate with other mediums. They are also beginner-friendly, as you don’t need brushes or water – just paper and your imagination. Whether you want to create detailed illustrations or bold seasonal designs, chalk and pastels give you expressive and colourful results.
