Jackson’s Handmade Soft Pastels are high quality, artist grade pastels. There are 200 soft and bright colours in the range, as well as a wide variety of themed selection sets.

Our Soft Pastels are made carefully by hand which makes them very soft with a smooth, buttery consistency. They have a low binder to pigment ratio which makes them rich and luminous, allowing for both subtle and bold mark making.

Their excellent lightfast qualities mean that pastel paintings created with them will not deteriorate over time. The four fluorescent colours are the only exception; like all fluorescent colours they are not lightfast.

The pastels are made solely from pigments, a bentonite clay binder, and calcium carbonate (chalk). Each pastel measures approximately 55mm in length and 15mm in diameter.

This set of 60-piece Basic Values set was selected by Maggie Price, and is organized into 12 color families, with five values of each, from darkest to lightest – a perfect foundation for your collection of Terry Ludwig Pastels. This is a great starter set for new pastelists.

Each pastel is crafted with a broad range of pigments by hand with minimal natural binders. This renders highly concentrated, velvety pastels. The square shape delivers thick, broad strokes or thin, precise lines where necessary. The size of these pastels are approximately 1 1/2″ x 1/2″ x 1/2″. Because each pastel is handcrafted, the size and shape may vary slightly.

This set includes 1 of each of the following colors: G620, G640, G650, G120, G230, G010, B120, B080, B040, B020, B010, B300, T070, T110, T120, T130, T360, T370, V055, V050, V040, V030, V020, V150, V100, R240, R250, R260, R280, R340, R390, R460, R350, R050, R120, R150, N120, N130, N210, N180, N270, N380, R430, A290, A280, A270, A230, A160, G570, G590, G390, G370, G310, G270, Y080, Y070, Y060, Y150, Y130, Y190.

The Sennelier oil pastel is a product that makes use of the components used in all Sennelier colours: top quality pigments, an extremely pure synthetic binding medium and mineral wax. The pigments are ground with an inert, non-siccative binding medium that does not oxidise and that has no effect upon either film stability or surface. This base is then mixed with wax (neutral pH). The balance of this mix provides Sennelier oil pastels with a unique unctuousness and a creamy texture that allows for a great deal of freedom in pictorial expression.

The Sennelier oil pastels possess an extraordinarily high pigment content, thus providing them with a high colouring and covering potential, excellent brightness and a high degree of light stability (with the exception of metallic and fluorescent shades).

The remarkable properties of these components, along with their precise dosage, provide Sennelier oil pastels with unique properties, making the brand a world-recognised reference.
