Pastels are an artist medium made from ground pigments which have been mixed with a
small amount of binder and filler and then shaped and pressed into a pastel stick.
When the surface is fully covered with pastel, the work is called a pastel painting.
If the surface is only partially covered, it's called a pastel sketch or drawing.
