Van Gogh Soft Pastel 24 Colors

Soft pastels in pure and brilliant colors for those looking for quality for artists and students. Van Gogh's slim, round chalk sticks are ideal for working on small details with the corners and large areas of color with the side. They are made from high-quality pigments and kaolin clay to achieve easy color transfer, a velvety appearance and less tendency to crumble. The pigments are free of heavy metals such as lead, cadmium and cobalt. Pastels work great on textured surfaces to which the pastels will adhere, for example paper, cardboard, stone, asphalt or wood. Pastel drawings and paintings are not smudge-proof and it is recommended to use a fixative on the finished artwork. The colors are rated as lightfast from good (25 - 100 years under museum conditions) to excellent (100+ years under museum conditions).
