Color schemes
Typically, manufacturers for each pigment (real color) produces 5 different tones: a pure tone, 2 two gradations of a clarified tone (mixed with white pigment) and 2 gradations of a darkened (mixed with black). It is difficult for novice artists to immediately grasp the differences, but it is necessary to know under what conditions it is necessary to use the necessary color or shade.
Yellow pigment: mixed with black pigment (A), in pure form (B), mixed with white pigment (C).

This material suggests looking at paints that should certainly be in the palette of a pastelist - a beginner. A larger number can be confusing, and a smaller number can force you to resort to mixing colors - any option will greatly complicate the work of a novice pastelist. This collection is characterized by the absence of intermediate tones (there are no lightened or darkened pigments), there are no “problematic” colors, such as some light yellow shades, yellow-green, including lemon yellow and greenish-blue colors. These colors are called problematic due to the fact that a large amount of adhesive has to be used for pressing pigments of this color, which immediately affects the quality of the pastel - it doesn’t fit well on the paper, that is, it leaves a poorly visible color, and when the pressure is increased, it starts to simply scratch the paper.This feature of the pigment itself, and not the way they are pressed. And finally, a useful tip: before buying a bar, you need to make sure of its quality, that is, see how it lays on paper.
The presented set saves the artist from the desire to constantly mix colors, but, at the same time, will give him the opportunity to get light shades with the right use of white pigment.
