Whether you are just starting out with pastels or are an experienced artist, this set offers excellent value for money and some of the finest hand-made soft pastels available.
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.
