I could show you art that would make his look like unfinished work which in most cases is the case . Hanging on a wall somewhere in the world is a painting worth millions yet its unfinished.

@MrsBarnabas4 ай бұрын
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
@keramiroberts6695Ай бұрын
Oh come on. Snake oil?they're barely selling them!? Hand made, very skilled making,... £15 a stick seems comparable to may other pigmented sticks...
@remsan03Ай бұрын
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

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".

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.
