PASTEL SUPPLIES: The only place to shop...
A virtual candy store for artists! The best place to buy professional pastels and supplies. If they don't have it, it's not worth having! You can order online or from their catalogue, but if you ever get the chance to visit their part of the world, GO! Just bring an extra suitcase, you'll need it.

PASTEL WORKSHOPS: The best of the best!
Located in Mount Vernon on the beautiful west coast of Washington State, Robyn's workshops offer the "Who's Who" of preeminent pastel artists like Richard McKinley, Teresa Saia, Susan Ogilvie, Kitty Wallis and Margot Schulzke. If this isn't enough, the huge studio spaces and unlimited outdoor plein air locations coupled with Dakota Art Pastel's store and warehouse right next door make this a Mecca for pastel enthusiasts!
