Rembrandt soft pastels owe their quality to the close collaboration with professional artists, combined with traditional expertise & more than a century of experience in the manufacture of pastels. Each colour is made according to a unique formula, & the necessary raw materials go through very strict controls for each new batch. Pastels are a soft type of chalk based on kaolin (china clay) & pigment, with which drawings can be made in a style similar to painting. Artists who work with pastels tend to see their work as a painting rather than a drawing. Set of 10 half length sticks. Soft pastels. Excellent colour release. Intense & pure colours.
