WHY UNISON COLOUR?

During many years of thorough inquiry, John Hersey decided that only the finest high-quality pigment produced the acceptable colour and longevity required for his artists’ materials. His aim was a powerful yet responsive medium that could be transported outdoors with minimal fuss, and this was achieved with results that needed to be shared. Unison Colour pastels were created to be used and cherished by artists of all abilities everywhere.

HIGHLY PIGMENTED

We use a high percentage of traditional pigments for the deepest colouration.

BLENDABLE

Because we use the best ingredients, our pastels have superior blending capabilities, used wet or dry.

SOFT AND SMOOTH

With careful binder use, our pastels are often described as 'smooth as butter' and need no encouragement to leave their mark.

LIGHTFAST

Colour that stands the test of time.

HANDMADE

Made, labelled, and packed entirely by hand. No extrusion.
