Sennelier extra soft pastels are composed of high quality pure pigment grounded with a natural transparent binder. The exceptional brightness is the result of the pigment and of the natural mineral fines discovered by Sennelier in 1905 and used in their pastels ever since. For gradient shades, increasing amounts of mineral fines are added, ultimately tending towards white. The high quality composition of “à l’écu” pastels is the result of a perfect balance between binder and pigment.

This set of 100 Sennelier Extra Soft Pastels comes in a wooden box for safe storage and transport. The colours have been specially selected for landscape artists, who generally require a wider selection of greens, blues and earths than portraitists.

Use on toothy surfaces such as pastel paper. If a lot of overlapping is performed, it is preferable to fix between layers. Avoid, however, fixing the final layer too heavily, as the original tones will be lost. Please remember that the lifespan of a pastel drawing depends on both the quality of the pastel, and the quality of the paper or card it is executed on.

The pastels in this box are kept secure by the foam lining within the box. The handsome box is beautifully finished to the highest standard and is suitable for travel or plein air. Your pastels will remain safe and will not break while stored in it.

This set contains a wide selection of 120 Unison hand-rolled Soft Pastels.

Unison pastels are the creation of artist John Hersey. From a converted coach house in Northumberland, England, John and a small band of artisans lovingly make Unison pastels by hand, cutting no corners, accepting no compromise. They make small batches of 100 to 200 pastels at a time. Each stick is hand rolled and allowed to air dry. This produces a soft pastel which is eager to embrace the tooth of your drawing paper. There is a richness, a smoothness and an intensity you will find nowhere else.

John Hersey developed Unison's colour scheme in unified cycles of 18 colours. He observed from nature that a single colour takes on endless variations of hue depending on the quality of light that strikes it. After 15 years of experimentation, his pastels reflect the true nature of colour. They have a colour scheme that flows from nature itself, seducing the eye with its power.

Please note, colours may vary.

This 36 set has been carefully put together by Robert Dutton to include colours that he believes are essential in replicating the fells and hills. These specially selected colours include the brand ‘new’ Dark 24.

Robert now works as a self-employed fine artist and tutor, winning regular fine art awards for his distinctive and expressive style of work in numerous international competitions.

They are mixed to meticulous recipes and are based on traditional pigments such as cadmiums, cobalts and natural and synthetic earths.

This set is a collaboration between Unison Pastels and the Australian pastel artist Tricia Taylor. Recognised for capturing the beauty of light, Tricia’s award winning seascapes are her specialty.

This set provides a palette suitable for capturing water and seascapes. The addition of light violets and pinks help create the white water of a crashing wave. For softer green oceans and foregrounds of the seascape, this set includes a lot of low-intensity colours with soft grey-greens and purple tones added. A variety of seascapes can be achieved, from the soft green northern water to the tropics. To balance the set, Tricia has added oranges and lemons for sunrise and sunsets that can also be used to warm and grey your colours by blending.

Coliro Pearlcolors are unique shimmery metallic shades, perfect for creating wonderful shiny effects across a variety of techniques. Coliro Pearlcolors can be used in the same way as watercolours, simply using a brush and water. They are suitable for most surfaces including paper, stone and wood. Perfect to use on dark paper, they are ideally suited for calligraphy but are suitable for for many techniques in the same way watercolours would be.

Finetec Coliro Pearlcolors are manufactured using only Mica-Pigments and Gum Arabic.

Please note: because each colour is hand-made no two colour pots are the same. Additionally, the colour pots are slightly curved at the bottom due to the natural drying process, this means sometimes a little hole can appear in the middle of the colour pot after some use. This is not a default but an effect of the manufacturing process.
