Jackson's Handmade Soft Pastels are high quality, artist-grade pastels. There are 200 soft and bright colours in the range, as well as a wide variety of themed and essential selection sets.
Our Soft Pastels are carefully crafted 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.
Every 14 individual Jackson's Handmade Soft Pastels ordered will arrive in a pastel set box.
Each pastel measures approximately 55mm in length and 15mm in diameter.
