- Unison Colour Emma Colbert Animal 30 Half Stick Set The comprehensive palette for animal portraits – Curated by Emma Colbert If you love painting animals, this is your ultimate toolkit. Belfast-based artist Emma Colbert has expanded her popular animal set to cover 30 carefully selected shades. This comprehensive set covers every tone you will need to create many different types of animal portraits – from dogs and horses to British wildlife. The set contains 30 handmade half-stick soft pastels. The half sticks are excellent for both blocking in large areas and creating fine fur details with their sharp edges. The Palette Breakdown – 5 Rows for Realism: Emma has structured this set systematically into five rows so you can easily find any animal’s palette: Row 1 (The Light Range): An all-important selection of light shades. These are vital for painting white animals but are also useful for highlights on every colour of animal. Tip: Avoiding pure white as your main highlight will add more depth and realism to your paintings.Row 2 (Cool Shadows): A full range of cool shadow tones. These are also incredibly useful for painting the highlights and sheen on dark or black animals, preventing black fur from looking flat.Row 3 (Vibrant Warms & Pinks): Provides a range of vibrant warm tones useful for highlights on brown animals. Crucially, this row includes a selection of fleshy pinks vital for painting inner ears, noses, and wet tongues!Rows 4 & 5 (The Browns): An extensive selection of warm and cool browns from light to dark. This range covers the vast array of brown shades seen in nature. Emma’s Tips for Success: Surface: Emma states there is no other medium quite like pastel combined with velour paper for building up the effect of soft fur.Layering: Whether you use the colours directly as they are or layer them up together, this set offers enough variety to match almost any coat without muddying your colours.Lifelike Details: The specific pinks in Row 3 are what separate a good sketch from a lifelike portrait – use them for the delicate skin around eyes, noses, and inside ears.
