Made with the finest materials, Jackson's Handmade Soft Pastels are of the highest professional quality. There are 200 rich and vivid colors in the full Jackson's Handmade Soft Pastel range, as well as wide array of themed selection sets.
Jackson's Soft Pastels are handmade, giving them an incredible softness and a smooth 'buttery' consistency. Jackson's hand-rolled pastels are formed with the lightest of touches, so as not to over compress the pastel ingredients. This gentle manufacturing process creates pastels that deposit brighter and more saturated hues. The low binder to pigment ratio of a Jackson's Handmade Pastel allows for both subtle and bold mark making. The pastels glide smoothly onto paper. The excellent lightfast qualities of Jackson's Soft Pastels mean that pastel paintings created with them will not deteriorate over time. (The four fluorescent colors are the exception; like all fluorescent colors they are not lightfast.)
