I would LOVE to go to Paris just to visit & purchase pastels! Thank you for this documentary!!👏👏👏👏😍

What an amazing piece of journalism. So much TV is not like this anymore,

Да.... В таком магазине можно (случайно) оставить всю зарплату и не пожалеть об этом🤭 Спасибо за видео. 💐

I have been collecting and using these marvelous pastels since 2015 and had not seen this video at all. These are beyond any doubt in MY mind, the most perfect of the pastels available to those who love pastels...they are not cheap but they are perfection in color...perfect in size and just walking into my studio and opening a drawer in one of the Henri Roche' chests can make my soul sing. They are wonderful! In case you are interested, I also own every major brand of pastels...but I find the HRs are the ones which satisfy my "color needs".

Oh Peri, How magical to have a chest by Henri Roche', it must be, as a dream, every time you open a draw to see a symphony of beautiful pastel colours. Xxxx

Interesting video...never had the fortune to try out Roche pastels.. but years ago when I was demonstrating at an art materials show in Liverpool I was presented with best pastels I have ever used..Sennelier of Paris ..over 500 pure colour, tint,tone and shades!

How soft are these pastels? What would you recommend as a starter purchase for these Roche pastels? 🙏🏻

What an amazing Family Legacy! How wonderful that this latest owner was willing to learn & dedicate her life to the continuation of this incredible art form - the making of pastels in the same tradition as her ancestors did! Bravo - awesome documentary!!

Just pure beauty.

Pierre Boncompain's work moves me, like pastels and their richness excites me deeply.

Great documentary! I visited Paris last year for the first time and visiting La Maison was a highlight!

Fantastic. What a story

3:58 That’s a perfect way to vent out frustration

Those colors are so beautiful and the process is amazing! They make me cry and someday when I am rich I am going to walk in that store and buy every color!

Go to their website and order a basic red, a basic blue, a basic yellow and a white. It will cost a bit but will change your life. You will find yourself saving money to buy these!!

@@CalSister I have a tiny old box of glorious pastels && every small artwork I've made has been MAGICAL, for years all I could do with that box of pistols, pick them up and put them down because they're so small now. I am thrilled to find that pastels are a beloved by artists, I had naïvely consider them a child's medium, now I know... now I know why this tiny box of tiny pieces of pastels have captivated my heart.

This is superb!! Fantastic!! Will visit the shop...Thank you!!

It is such a pleasure to see hand crafted anything these day. That was fun to watch.

The colours are simply amazing and I loved the documentary. An eye opener to this brand without doubt. E

This is wonderful to watch. I’m a pastelist and I truly enjoyed seeing the craftsmanship of this art as well 🎨

I saw Pierre Boncompain's exhibition, and artist alive, in San Francisco Autuman on 2011! Few paintings only, but it was so diferent of American paintings ! I am a painter too, and this story about pastels is so nice!

So glad I found this video, absolutely wonderful, time for a pastel painting !!

Beautiful process! I hope they release a small portrait set for darker skin tones.

Such a lovely video. It always renews the beauty of pastels, in my eyes, seeing all the work that goes into bringing these colours to life!

Wonderful. Thank you. Xxx

Wonderful. Thankyou.

Wonderful video. Thank you. ❤

Wow- I got lost in this whole video!! 💗💗💗

What a beautiful documentary!

Omg... that is amazing

marvellous, incredible, fantastic, i'm fascinated and so grateful to you for posting this. it's amazing that they are still making them by hand and i wonder how much longer this will go on. there was a spoof ad for polo mints on the london tube some year ago which claimed that each polo mint was hand made. but here they really do it. a friend brought me one colour, vermilion, i'd requested from Maison du Pastel in paris in around 1981, but it was so expensive that i have never dared to use it. there is a big delusion in all this. although the colours are perfectly marvellous, and in the hands of morandi or Matisse amazing things could be done with them, they are really no substitute for the talent of an artist, who doesn't need such high class materials to produce something extremely beautiful. Lowry, for example, used six tubes of paint: black, white, red, blue, yellow, yellow ochre, and mixed everything from them, and many of his paintings are very beautiful. "Give me some mud, and I will paint you a woman’s flesh." - Delacroix, quoted by Renoir. Vollard, Renoir, an Intimate Record, 1925.

Use the vermillion! It can be replaced! Although Matisse or Degas or Boncompain may have the "training" as an artist, as a teacher I can tell you the "talent" is in the ability to see and to choose the color which expresses what the user intends to convey...the correct blue of the sky is available in most pastel sets but the "truth" of the pigment, the transferability if you will to get the color onto paper easily and so it remains and can be blended as desired is easier with these than any other of the soft pastel brands I have used....from Sennelier to Unison to Rembrant, Mount Vision, ....I have been collecting and using pastels since 1966....these...are..the...best. Use them as accents for the other brands you have...for the "in between" values you have trouble locating...it is not "talent" which makes an artist great....it is work, training, vision and determination to do what you need to do...and as for "high class material" - well, those materials can elevate a simple child's coloring to art!

Painting with just a few tubes of paint is also easier because it is pre-mixed on another surface and the mixed paint is then applied to the background of the picture. This is not possible with pastels and the colours have to be mixed on the background of the picture and that is more difficult. The special thing is the mixture with pumice stone so that the pastels stick better to each other. I assume it is counted among the binders by Roche and therefore belongs to the special binder recipe.

I wonder about the wisdom of mixing these materials without a mask.

Che meraviglia ❤

Omg ! so wonderful ... but at the moment just a dream for me :)

Algún día quizás pueda tener algunos , hermoso oficio 😊

The eternal question- how they fixed them to survive so long?

At around $20 a stick, you would believe that it contains gold dust and angel's tears. The blue is harvested from cerulean flower that grows on the Himalaya and blooms only under the full moon. *wink

I think you need to check your sums. 600 divided by 36 = $16.67 😄That's £13.25 at the current market exchange rate. One stick of those would probable equate to two / two and a half cores of Luminance (£3.50 each) or Derwent Lightfast £3.30 each) coloured pencils. Unless you've held a top quality pastel stick in your own hand, and then used it, you could never understand the feel of these pastel, and why people are prepared to pay so much for them, in exactly the same way that people who use less expensive coloured pencils look at those who use Luminance and Lightfast can't understand why we will pay that price. Only, with these pastels, it's even more so, because the ratio of pigment to filler is greater and the sense of holding it in the hand, without the feel of anything between the senses and the colour is mind-blowing. 😊

I think you should recheck whether or not you've been drinking the kool-aid for that brand. You've been caught up in the marketing ploy from them. Sure, I do not doubt that they are good pastels, but they are also overpriced. They keep repeating "pigment load". Sure, it is important. But does it justify the price? Does it actually contain twice or three times the pigments used by Unison, or Diane Townsend? I've heard people saying that Roche are too dry and brittle. Probably due to the heavy load of pigment. Having "too much pigment" is a real thing. At the end of the day, talent and skill is the most important thing. You never hear an artwork by Degas being bragged by Christie's about the pastel brand used by him. If you swear by Roche pastel made your works better, then go ahead pay the prices, and use them to your pleasure. As for me, I rather use reasonably priced material. Those that are sold without the snake-oil sale tactics and without the mystic of the product.@@MrsBarnabas

Unison, Diane Townsend, Mount Vision, Terry Ludwig, Schmincke are all handmade too. All claim that they have the highest amount of pigment load. Lowest amount of binder possible. All of them are made with love and a cup full of good intention. All of them would say that they are diligently crafted by masters. They all look intensely vibrant and delicious enough to eat. But do they slap exorbitant prices on their products? No. Roche has been touted as the most expensive pastel in the world. Being the most expensive thing in the world is not a virtue. It's a mere indicator of what people are willing to pay for it. And based on what you've said, apparently not many people bought into it. @@keramiroberts6695

so nice but so expensive ,imagine to bring just some to south america

Does anyone know what kind of paper that pierre use? Or maybe any specific brand? Thank you so much

Great colors but £600.00 for a set of 36 is more than I want to pay thanks.!

WOW $600 for 36 sticks is expensive so I think I won't be using these any time soon.

I wish they were less expensive!

Edward Feldman was right.

According to the commentary he's a master :) It's the first time i've heard an ''artist''' profess they understand the light, and are able to replicate it with pigments (complete bullshit) no pigment will ever be able too. The guy has a too big of an ego. Oh and roche are overpriced artist unfriendly pastels, it kind of shows who uses their stuff. snobs.
