I was recently asked by a patron of mine on my Patreon page, if I had ever tried Henri Roche' pastels, as they are known for perhaps being the most expensive pastels in the world.
Are they worth the price that is so much more than many other professional brands of soft pastels? Could their performance justify their extreme price?
Well, check out my review and demo along with a full painting tutorial in this video lesson.
I had never purchased or used Henri Roche' soft pastels, so I became instantly curious as to why they were so expensive... and if their performance justified the price that is so much more than many other quality professional soft pastel brands.
And included is a full painting tutorial of some lovey red flowers in the sunshine.
