Offering an impressive colour selection, Blue Earth use only lightfast, high density mineral pigments in the manufacture of their soft pastels. The pastels are almost square in shape and are on the very soft end of the hardness scale.
Blue Earth: Artisan Soft Pastels
Blue Earth is celebrated for its finely crafted soft pastels made using lightfast mineral pigments. These pastels have exceptional softness and a near-square shape, making them popular among pastel artists who demand precision in their work.
Blue Earth organises its pastels by hue, value, and intensity. The pastels follow a traditional colour theory approach, where each pastel set is arranged in a colour wheel format. This system allows artists to easily select the right shade and value, while each pastel stick is carefully labelled for easy identification.
Blue Earth sets are organised within each box according to a seven-value scale, progressing from dark to light. Colours are further refined by intensity, with the brightest hues placed in Column A and complementary shades in Columns B, C, and D.
Handcrafted in a restored 1890s building, Blue Earth Pastels reflect a commitment to tradition and craftsmanship. They combine a rich artistic heritage with colour science, providing artists with tools that are as reliable as they are inspiring.
