Elena Tatkina's signature set of 18 pastels "From light to shadow"

Introducing the “From light to shadow” handmade soft professional set – an 18-shade collection developed in collaboration with artist and teacher Elena Tatkina, designed to help you explore form, volume, and tonal structure in your work.

Each pastel in this set has been carefully chosen to create smooth, logical transitions between light and dark, making it ideal for artists who want to understand how light shapes form. From delicate highlights to deep shadows, the “From light to shadow” set allows you to build dimension and bring your drawings to life with clarity and precision.

This set is perfect for urban sketches, architectural studies, and more graphic-style artworks, but it also works beautifully for any practice focused on tonal values and lighting. The range of shades supports both detailed work – drawing fine lines, textures, or facial features – and broader strokes for covering larger areas.

As with all our pastels, these are handcrafted using rich, non-toxic pigments, offering a soft, buttery texture that blends effortlessly while retaining vibrant color. The unique shape of each pastel makes it easy to control, helping you refine your technique and achieve subtle transitions and dynamic contrasts.

“From light to shadow” is more than a set of colours – it’s a tool for seeing your subjects in new ways, for experimenting with light and form, and for creating drawings that feel alive with volume and depth.
