Soft Pastel Set of 24

Soft pastels are pure pigment pressed into a stick with very little binder, giving deep colour and a velvety feel. It is sold as a set of 24: twenty-four pieces packed together, each one distinct so nothing in the box repeats.

Work broad strokes with the side of the stick, then add small detail with the tip and blend with your fingers. Keep the sticks in their tray, and use fixative lightly between layers if you want to keep working.
