For authentic pastel drawings with quick, easy colour lay down, these chunky pastel blocks are perfect. Their square shape (8 x 8 x 75mm) and smooth, semi-hard texture means you can use the ends, sides or edges to produce both broad and fine lines.
Although not as powdery as soft pastels, the effect is equally beautiful and the unique colourless Derwent Blending White allows you to blend the colours easily without affecting their density.
The colours are rich and vibrant and can be used dry or wet to produce soft and subtle tonings. They are also ideally suited to use with any type of coloured pencil, watercolour pencil or pastel pencil.
N.B. Every possible care is taken in packing artists pastels due to their extremely fragile nature. No allowance therefore, can be made in the event of any breakage as they are equally serviceable.
