Jackson's Handmade Soft Pastels are high quality, artist-grade pastels. This set includes 196 soft and bright colours from the range, carefully packed in our Empty Pastel Storage Case. This set contains the entire Jackson's Soft Pastel range, minus 447, 405, 299, and 402.
Jackson's Soft Pastels are made carefully by hand, which makes them very soft with a smooth, buttery consistency. They have a low binder to pigment ratio, which makes them rich and luminous, allowing for both subtle and bold mark-making.
Their excellent lightfast qualities mean that pastel paintings created with them will not deteriorate over time. The four fluorescent colours are the only exception; like all fluorescent colours, they are not lightfast.
The pastels are made solely from pigments, a bentonite clay binder, and calcium carbonate (chalk). Each pastel measures approximately 55mm in length and 15mm in diameter.
Dimensions: 300mm x 200mm x 150mm.
