ABSTRACT:
An artist's compartmented pastel case (50) and color arrangement for organizing, transporting, storing, and accessing artists' pastels, for use with computer graphics applications, and databases, as well as for use with traditional methods of painting with pastels. The case has a lid (60) which contains a removable resilient liner or pad (70) which protectively cushions and immobilizes pastels when the case is closed for transport. The color compartment arrangement (100) translates the painter's color triangle into a rectangular format by placing the three primary colors, red, yellow, and blue, in analogous locations (FIGS. 5 and 6). An empty, central compartment or current palette area (120) is provided as a place where all colors in current use can be grouped together. Empty subcompartments or holding areas (122), one located within each color compartment (FIG. 13), are also provided to hold selected pastels (172). The case's two-level construction keeps its color compartments free of dust and debris. A top layer of alignment elements on a mesh-like support grid (140) positions pastels within each color compartment, and allows pastel dust and fragments to fall into a collection chamber below. A color chart, disposed on the interior surface (130) of the lid, and viewed by removing the resilient pad, can be labeled and used to select pastel colors that have been calibrated with colors displayed on-screen in computer graphics, tutorial, or database applications (FIG. 28).
