Web ResultPastel is usually drawn on paper, which must have a slight texture or “tooth” to grab and hold the medium on its surface. Prized for its brilliant color, pastel was first used in the sixteenth century, notably by Leonardo da Vinci. It flourished in the eighteenth century, again in the late nineteenth century, and remains popular today.
