True Pastels Recipe
Ingredients
Gum Arabic or gum attractant (binder)
Distilled water
Pigment
Chalk or kaolin/China clay (filler)
Steps
Dissolve the binder in the water in the ratio 1:20 (one part binder to 20 parts water).
Mix filler and pigment in the ratio 2:1 (two parts filler to one part pigment).
Add the binder liquid to the filler/pigment slowly, until it has the consistency of dough or putty.
Roll out and dry as described above.
Tips
Gum Arabic makes a harder pastel than gum attractant.
Damar resin mixed with plenty of white spirit or turpentine can be used as a binder.
