Blue Earth : Soft Pastel : 56 Stick Box Set : Nomad

The Blue Earth Soft Pastel Nomad Box Set is a travel set of 56 pastel sticks. It comes in a durable box which, by using the lid, doubles as a simple easel with a 6 x 8in work surface making it ideal for outdoor pastel sketches.

As with all Blue Earth pastel sets, the colours are organised in the nineteenth-century manner: by hue, value, and intensity. The Nomad set contains seven colour families which are split into bright and desaturated groups of four values each. Only lightfast, high density mineral pigments are used in the manufacture of Blue Earth pastels. Sticks measure approximately 1/2in x 7/16in x 1 3/16in.

The Nomad set contains the following colours: R1B, R3B, R5B, R7B, R7D, R5D, R3D, R1D, O1B, O3B, O5B, 07B, 07D, O5D, O3D, O1D, Y1B, Y3B, Y5B, Y7B, Y7D, Y5D, Y3D, Y1D, L1B, L3B, L5B, L7B, L7D, L5D, L3D, L1D, E1B, E3B, E5B, E7B, E7D, E5D, E3D, E1D, B1B, B3B, B5B, B7B, B7D, B5D, B3D, B1B, V1A, V3A, V5A, V7A, V7C, V5C, V3C, and V1C.
