Schmincke Soft Artist Pastels contain the finest quality and highest concentration of pigments using a minimum of binders. The buttery softness and intense colour range of Schmincke Artist pastels has created a loyal following for these pastels around the world. The pigments are carefully ground on extra-hard stone-mills to replicate the traditional hand grinding process. With a ½" diameter and a 2½" length, Schmincke pastels are chunkier than other pastels and comfortable to hold. Each pastel is carefully formed and labeled by hand.
