What is Nupastel?

[Leslie Bohoss]

Hello to all,

I read the topic from William Whitaker (My Nupastel ..) So beautiful, I find no words.

I think, pastel would be perfect for the drawing on canvas, before underpainting. (I used normal graphite.)

I tried to buy it, but no chance. Nobody knows here in Germany (or in the EU.)

Is that a special kind of pastel (seems so on the picture) red chalk or so? I think "Nupastel" is only a brandmark from Sanford, is there something similar to this one?

Thank you for your help!
