About This Quote
The smell of pastels is said to be, “the breath of life" and "breathes life into my soul.” It is something that brings a smile to your face and the sensation of joy and happiness to your heart. It gives you a feeling of happiness and makes you smile. The word "pastel" comes from the Italian word "pasticca", meaning “to colour with pastes,” which refers to the egg-based paints that were first made in Italy as early as the late 1800s. These paints were commonly used as a cheaper alternative for those who couldn't afford oil paints, which were very expensive at that time. With their ease of use, affordability and long shelf life, pastels soon became the preferred choice for artists and art lovers alike.
