Unison Colour Pastels are made in Northumberland and contain only pure pigments. Unison groups the colours together in sets of related hues, instead of adding white or black pigment to the colours. The result is intense and vibrant shades, not muddied by the blending of colours.

Unison's pastels contain very little binder, making them truly soft and smooth. They are mixed to meticulous recipes and are based on traditional pigments such as cadmiums, cobalts and natural and synthetic earths.

The Light & Shade set is Unison's 5th collaboration with Associate Artist Emma Colbert. This set is designed for those wanting to steer their work out of the monochrome and into colour. It will help you see more values in your highlights, midtones and shadows. Combined with your existing collection this set will ensure you have the right shades and tints for every lighting.

Colours included: Grey 26, Grey 25, Light 4, Brown Earth 19, Brown Earth 1, Grey 29, Additional 32, Grey 16, Additional 26, Additional 21, Additional 22, Portrait 11, Dark 2, Dark 3, Dark 5, Additional 36, Dark 13, Dark 20, Light 12, Light 11, Light 13, Blue Violet 1, Light 14, Light 16, Additional 33, Blue Violet 15, Grey 9, Grey 4, Grey 33, Grey 34, Dark 24, Additional 50, Blue Green Earth 6, Grey 14, Dark 7, Additional 43.
