Like you I have a tin of Reeves Greyhound pastels that I use for weathering buildings (most of the pastels are older than I am, but you use such a small amount weathering they will still last me years). The other bonus is that pastels take up so much less room than the glass jars of weathering powders, and I'm sure we could all do with the extra room!Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02418527698793489162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4367600670436634226.post-30970349082406051002014-02-01T00:51:07.391-08:002014-02-01T00:51:07.391-08:00Thanks, Chas.

I really should throw them away.

I have often wondered about "weathering powders" when I have a far better range of colours in my pastel box, and if that fails, my missus has a load of the Rembrandt soft ones. Pastels are nicer to use, don't blow off everywhere (until you've sanded them anyway!) and are marginally cheaper...plus you can paint a picture with them!<br />Don't start me on spelling or the "could of's, would of's" and text speakers...don't go there or I will self combust.Iain Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03633733907566547236noreply@blogger.com
