Working with Schminckes
finest extra-soft pastels
contain only the purest
medium fine ground
artists pigments, which
are in the highest
possible concentration.
Contrastingly, the
binding agent content,
is kept to a minimum,
which ensures a stable
compound. In order to
guarantee the highest
quality it is nece ssary
to manufacture Schmincke
pastels using special
recipes which avoid the
use of machinery during
manufacture. Worm
extruders form the
pre-kneaded dough into
round skeins, which are
then detached by hand and
cut in a wire-strung
frame. The damp sticks
have to dry for around
eight days before they
can be labelled and
packed by hand. This is a
costly and time consuming
process, how ever it is
the only way Schmincke
can guarantee homogenous
quality and smoothness in
all the production
cycles, in order that
the artist can be assured
that his favourite colour
shade is consistant
throughout our range of
finest extra-soft artists
pastel colours. This
cardboard set contains 10
Schmincke Finest
Extra-Soft Artists
Pastels. This is an ideal
set for those who want to
start using this medium.
