ranulf the revenant Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 (edited) A quick question: I just came across some "soft pastels" (on my mom's desk haha). Can those be used for weathering pigments if ground up? It's kind of a coloured chalk... Like this -≥ https://www.amazon.com/-/de/dp/B010MZ9ISW?ref_=fsclp_pl_dp_1 Thanks in advance if you can share some knowledge Edited December 23, 2019 by ranulf the revenant Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/360726-soft-pastels-for-weathering/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spacecow Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 Yes you can. I scrape it with a sharp knife and apply the pigment. (Light to dark) I use green stuff world pigment fixer to keep it in place. Some don’t even bother or use varnish or other methanol based products. ranulf the revenant 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/360726-soft-pastels-for-weathering/#findComment-5450310 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ahistorian Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 There are lots of railway modelling guides on crushing pastel crayons for use as weathering powders. ranulf the revenant 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/360726-soft-pastels-for-weathering/#findComment-5450411 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evil Eye Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 Yes, pastels and other soft pigments are often used for modelling. You can get modelling-made "weathering powders" that are basically just pre-ground pastels. ranulf the revenant 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/360726-soft-pastels-for-weathering/#findComment-5452137 Share on other sites More sharing options...
