Rich pigmentation and high lightfastness guarantee brilliant results. Cretacolor Fine Art Pastel Pencils are available in 72 colors. They are made in Austria.
Fine Art Pastel Pencils are superb for fine detail work, but you can also use them as a standalone medium. Enveloped in a protective case of cedar, 72 luminous colors make for portable pastel perfection.
The leads of these oil free and unburnt Pastels correspond with the hard pastels "Pastellcarré" by Cretacolor. The soft and and highly pigmented leads give your drawings brilliant effects.
All colours can be mixed with each other, and they can be blended with water. The drawing should be protected with fixative.
The pencils are round, varnished clear, and the end of each pencil is painted in matching color.
Cretacolor recommends sharpening the pastel pencils with
sandpaper. Also short cone sharpeners for chalk pencils like the Cretacolor
Sharpener or
Artist's Sharpener or
hand cranked pencil sharpeners (with short point adjustment) are suitable. Where sharpeners with a regular blade are used, they should be replaced regularly.
