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.
Please Note, 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.
