Schmincke Soft Pastels contain only the finest artists' grade pigments in highest concentration using a minimum of binders. The palette is intensively powerful in color and preserves the best characteristic effect of the pigments. The pigments are carefully ground on extra-hard stone mills, which is very similar to grinding by hand. In a costly traditional method, the sticks are formed and hand-labeled. The complete range of Schmincke pastels is extremely soft and buttery in texture. This facilitates work on all pastel papers and pastel techniques.

Pastels are 1/2" diameter and 2 1/2" in length. Comfortable to hold.
