#FeaturedArtist

Helen Jones

I’ve always been passionate about animals and wildlife and my career has involved working both as a Veterinary surgeon and as a lecturer in animal and veterinary qualifications. Living between the Yorkshire Wolds, Moors and Dales, I spend much of my free time in the countryside watching wild animals and birds, so wildlife photography and art were a natural progression as hobbies.

My love of nature inspires me to capture the moments that I’ve been fortunate enough to witness. I aim to show the sense of wonder I experience when encountering wildlife, as well as the character and beauty of the subject.

Each image I make tells a story of a moment that I’ve been privileged enough to experience and I love being able to share the beauty and excitement of these wildlife encounters with others.

What was in the box?

Conté à Paris Pastel Pencils

These artist grade pastel pencils form Conté à Paris offer soft and easy to apply pigment. The colour payoff is bright and bold for clean looking colours. They have a creamy texture which allows for a lovely smooth flow across the page when sketching and colouring. The ease of application allows you to confidently get creative with your expression! The hard wooden barrels are on the larger side with a 8.5mm diameter. Good news for those who don’t like the texture – the wooden barrel should also protect your fingers from picking up too much dust. RRP £2.30 /each

Clairefontaine PastelMat Paper (Sand)

This paper is the ultimate soft pastel paper specially requested by our featured artist. 360gsm Pastelmat Paper in a sand colour has a toothy, velvety surface, perfect for using with soft pastel pencils. RRP £7.99

Derwent Pastel Pencil Sharpener

A sharpener made for pastels! Designed for use with the more fragile media of pastel pencils, this sharpener is a great way to achieve the perfect strong, short point with the thick core of these Conte Pastel pencils. RRP £2.99

Brilliant Box!

I have to say I enjoy all Scrawlr boxes, but pastels are my passion so this was a fav for me. I got this box in the sale to gift to a friend and she loves it.
The great thing about Scrawlr boxes, and the thing that is never mentioned when people consider cost and value, is the Scrawlrzine. It has so much valuable information on how to use the supplies which you can’t get anywhere else.

Thank you, Elaine! It’s lovely to hear this was a favourite and that your friend enjoyed it too. We’re especially pleased you mentioned the ScrawlrZine—we put a lot into helping people explore the supplies, so it means a lot to hear that this part of the box is valued.

New experience

Excellent value box.
I’ve never used pastel pencils before and found them fascinating.

Well planed out

Well planed out box with materials that work well together, had wished a bit more padding, all pencils came broken and dust all over. Think some bubblewrap would have helped :)

The pastel pencils form Conté à Paris are amazing to use!!
They blend, glide, feel ergonomic in your hand when using .. I love them. Thank you for putting this box together with the paper pad and sharpener.
