Soft pastels are colour in its purest form and guarantee unadulterated fun with colour. A very small amountof binding agent holds the colour pigments together so that they can be used as a chalk stick. The minimal compaction of the chalk stick makes the colour application spontaneous and easy to smudge. No other artist’s medium can be smudged to create such flowing, soft colour gradients like pastels.

Soft pastel crayons have extremely intense colours, a silky smooth flow of colour, and are very easy to mix and blend. The brilliant, vivid results achieved make them ideal for amateur artists, school art lessons and creative handicraft enthusiasts. The soft pastel crayons are well suited to different types of paper (e.g. flock paper), but fantastic effects can also be achieved on other surfaces. For preserving your pastel work, you should spray it with a fixative after completion.
