Soft pastels and oil pastels in one section. Different mediums, both forgiving, both fast.

Pastel is the closest you can get to drawing in pure colour. Soft chalk pastels blend with a fingertip and build atmospheric tonal work. Oil pastels lay down like butter on textured paper and dry instantly — no fixative, no waiting.
