Pastels can be hard or soft. Soft pastels have more pigment and less binder, so they are easier to smudge and have brighter colors.Hard pastels can stay relatively sharp, so they are ideal for pastel artwork that requires tight detail. Hard pastels have less pigment and more binder than soft pastels.Pastel artwork can either be referred to as a “pastel”, a “pastel painting”, or a “pastel drawing”. 
                                                           MAKING 

Place powdered gum tragacanth into a glass jar, add water and mix to dissolve.  Close the jar and refrigerate it for at least 48 hours. The mixture will become a gelatinous solution
Place powdered pigment on a glass palette. Make a hole in the middle of the pile of pigment. Pour a very small amount of the gum tragacanth solution into the center of the pigment. Using a palette knife, mix the pigment and the gum tragacanth solution.



 Is necessary, add more gum solution. Mix thoroughly until the mixture reaches a doughy consistency.
To make a lighter shade of blue, add a pile of white pigment to the remaning blue pastel. Add a small amount of gum,  and repeat the mixing process.     
Mold the doughy pastel into a stick from. Place the pastel on absorbent paper, such as a paper towel. Allow the pastel to dry. You can create your pastels in any shape that you want, depending on what you might want to use it for.


PIGMENTS

Until the middle of the last century, when it was discovered that aniline dyes were being made from coal tar, most of the dyes were obtained from natural species in plants or animals called carmine lakes. . There are two varieties of lake carmine, both produced from insects, cochineal lake and lake kermes, and both are used as dye and lake.
Lake Cochineal comes from the cochineal, native to the New World, which was used by the Aztecs to dye and paint and was brought to Europe in the sixteenth century after the Spanish conquest.
