Soft chalk pastels are usually richer in pigment and designed for fine art drawing on paper or board, allowing smooth blending and layering. Street chalk is often larger and slightly harder, made for sidewalks and outdoor surfaces. You can compare options in our Chalk Pastels collection and mix them with other media like those in our Oil Pastels collection https://shop.artnoise.ca/collections/oil-pastels for mixed-media work.

Chalk pastels perform best on slightly textured papers or boards that can grab the pigment and allow layering. Try pastel papers, mixed media pads, or sketchbooks from our paper and pads collection https://shop.artnoise.ca/collections/paper-and-pads along with your choices from the Chalk Pastels collection https://shop.artnoise.ca/collections/chalk-pastels for reliable results in the studio, classroom, or on the go.

Because chalk pastel drawings remain delicate on the surface, a workable or final fixative is recommended to reduce smudging, especially for pieces that will be handled or transported. After selecting colours from the Chalk Pastels collection, you can find compatible sprays and accessories in our Drawing Accessories collection https://shop.artnoise.ca/collections/drawing-accessories to help protect your work.
