JixiPix Pastello 6.0.102

JixiPix Pastello Overview

This program is a brand-new companion app to JixiPix’s Impresso Pro. It takes you back to the 15th century, away from brushes and large strokes, and into the realm of dry media with brilliant and subtle color.

The “Dry color method,” made famous by Leonardo da Vinci, is powerful in its simplicity and beauty, with its black and red chalk and yellow pastel highlights. Later, artists would paint charming portraits in a smooth, heavily blended fashion.

A few centuries later, pastels quickly became filled with brilliant color and crisp detail. Fast-forward to today, and the digital age has made it so you, the artist, can mix and match media that is difficult or impossible in a traditional setting.
