Pastel
From LoveToKnow 1911
PASTEL, the name of a particular method of painting with dry pigments, so called from the "paste" into which they are first compounded.
Pastels are sticks of ground pigment mixed with chalk and gum or oil. This is shaped into drawing sticks. Pastels cannot be mixed on a palette like paints, but are mixed on the paper by overlaying or blending.
Pastel is an art medium in the form of a stick, consisting of pure powdered pigment and a binder. The pigments used in pastels are the same as those used to produce all colored art media, including oil paints.

Powdered pigments mixed with a small amount of binding medium to produce dry coloured sticks. Chalk can be added to soften intense pigments and to obtain a range of hues.
