Jackson's Handmade Soft Pastel Sets feature high quality, artist-grade pastels in a wide variety of themed and essential selections and the range features 200 colours.
Our 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.
This Sea and Sky Set of 28 pastels contains the following colours: White I (Cool White), White II (Warm White), Apricot Pink, Rose Grey, Apricot, Pale Peach, Fluorescent Red, Smalt Blue White, Smalt Blue, Pale Cobalt Blue, Brandeis Blue, Dark Cobalt Blue, Fade Cobalt Blue, Deep Lavender Blue, Light Prussian Blue, Deep Sky Blue, Light Grey Green, Powder Lime Blue, Powder Blue, Light Ultramarine Blue, Cream, Light Yellow Ochre, Warm Grey I, Cool Grey I, Warm Grey III, Cool Grey III, Cool Grey VI, and Dark Umber.
