Schmincke Soft Pastels
Pastel painting has enjoyed great popularity for centuries, uniting drawing techniques with an intense colour effect. The extra-fine soft pastels by Schmincke are as soft as velvet and silk, with a particularly soft and intense colour application. This is a result of their formulation and the traditional production technique. The colour spectrum of 400 shades allows limitless artistic possibilities. Use them in their pure form on pastel paper, in mixed-media techniques or on special Schmincke primers on canvas.
