Originals in this selection, Pastel, Graphic, illustrative and typographic, under 500 euro.
Pigment with a hard edge
Pastel is close to pure pigment, which is why lines and letterforms sit on the sheet with such a dense, velvety color. Here you will find graphic and illustrative pastel drawings for sale under 500 euro, where outline and flat color stay cleanly apart.
In a graphic or illustrative hand, pastel is used differently than in a soft landscape: the edge holds, the color field covers, and a lettered word or a figure stands sharply against the paper. Because the stick touches the sheet directly, the hue keeps the strength it has in the crayon.

A small poster on the wall
Flat pastel sheets with typography work almost like posters in miniature. Hang them at eye level in a hallway or above a desk, where your glance passes often. Glass with a spacer protects the powdery surface, and a white mat lets the colors speak.
What matters at this price level
Under 500 euro, original works often come as smaller formats, studies and early-career positions. Ask the description about the paper and whether the sheet has been fixed. For pastel, both details say more than any decorative adjective.
