Pastel Painter is a tool for pastel painters using a photograph as a starting point. It is based on the Munsell color system. You can read about this color system here: Munsell color system.

A monochrome image has hundreds of different values, and a color photograph has thousands of unique colors. An artist has to reduce the number of colors in his work. Pastel Painter significantly helps the artist with this.

Although Pastel Painter is made for the pastel painter, others may find it useful, for example artists using pencils, color pencils, oils etc.
