Pastels That Speak To The Soul

Delicate Tones, Bold Impressions

At Great American Art Works, we believe in the timeless art of crafting soft pastels with care and precision. By creating each pastel from the finest pigments and natural ingredients, we honor the tradition of artists who have handmade their tools for centuries. Our pastels are designed to enhance your creative process—offering a rich, velvety texture that blends beautifully on paper and canvas. Whether you're a professional artist or simply love to explore color, our hand-crafted pastels provide a pure, organic experience that elevates your artwork to new heights. Discover the difference in every stroke.

Happy People

The magic happens in the balance—the binders must hold the pigment together, but not too tightly, so the pastel remains soft enough to create those signature smooth, diffused strokes. Artists often experiment with different ratios of ingredients to achieve specific effects, from creamy pastels with a smooth application to firmer ones with more intense color payoff. The freedom to create your own pastels means you can explore an endless spectrum of colors, tailoring each batch to suit your style and vision.​
