Who would have known
I have to pass on an interesting tibit.. Last week I traveled to Cedar Falls, Ia, about an hour from my house. I needed to replenish some pastels and it has a good art store with a fair assortment of pastels. The sales person noticed me looking through the nupastels and asked me this question. " Can you tell me why we keep selling out of one color of nupastel called Bottle Green"? Sure enough all the various colors of nupastel were represented except Bottle Green.. I informed the salesman that Albert Handell always mentions in his videos and workshops that Nupastel has a dark green called Bottle Green and it is his favorite pastel . Who would have known Handell has so much influence on pastel artists even here in the rural midwest. AS it goes I was intending to purchase as many sticks of bottle green I could afford as I 've been using the color ever since I attended Handell's mentoring workshop last year in Minnestoa. I guess I will have to order online....tom
