Faber-Castell Soft Pastels, 70 Colors/72 Sticks, Paper Box, Item No. 128272 [Genuine Japanese Product]

These are half-size, square-shaped soft pastels with vibrant colors, made using highly safe pigments. While soft pastels are generally very fragile and difficult to handle, this half-size design fits comfortably in your fingers, making them easy to use even for those trying soft pastels for the first time. The fine particles allow for smooth color application, making layering and blending easy. They can also be shaved with sandpaper or a utility knife to create powder for coloring larger areas. For preservation, we recommend fixing your artwork with a pastel fixative.
