Pastels
The word "pastel" does not refer to pale colors. It comes from the French word "pastische" which means paste. Pastels are pure-powdered pigments ground into paste using a small amount of gum binder and rolled into sticks.

This is the same pigment used in making all fine-art paints. However, pastel has no liquid binder like those found in other media. It's the liquid binders which cause other mediums to fade, darken, yellow, crack or blister over time. Pastels from the 16th century are as fresh and brilliant as the day they were painted.

Pastel is the most permanent of all media when applied to conservation ground and framed correctly. All "Timken Originals" using pastels are painted on archival, sanded paper specifically made for the pastel medium. Each is carefully framed using high quality 4" wide frames and museum quality, non-glare glass.

NOTE: All dimentions listed are the size of the painting. When measuring your space,be sure to add 4" to each side.

OILS
All original oils are on gallery-style canvases and painted on the sides.
