The pastels are made in Northumberland and contain only pure pigments in a cycle of related hues, instead of adding white or black to the colours. The result is intense, vibrant colour not muddied by the blending of colours.

Unison's pastels contain very little binder, making them truly soft and smooth. They are mixed to meticulous recipes and are based on traditional pigments such as cadmiums, cobalts and natural and synthetic earths.

Pastels measure approximately 2-1/8" long × 5/8" diameter (54 mm × 16 mm). Sticks vary slightly due to the hand-making process.

The 60-piece Plein Air Landscape set is a great selection for landscape painters working in a variety of environments.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 hand-crafted, the size and shape may vary slightly.

This set includes 1 of each of the following colors: N200, N260, N150, N270, A250, Y180, Y160, A110, Y140, Y070, Y080, R440, V450, V500, V510, R310, N290, N250, A260, A200, A130, A170, A230, R130, B190, B140, V090, B570, V490, V280, N490, N330, N540, N530, N500, N420, G400, G100, B480, B260, G470, B280, B380, T350, T360, T260, T370, B220, G140, G090, G600, G590, G560, G580, G210, G460, G650, B410, G410, G480.

Schmincke soft pastels contain the finest artists' pigments in the highest concentration using a minimum of binders. The extreme softness and colour strength of Schmincke pastels demand a very traditional forming process; the Pastels are so soft they must be labelled individually, by hand!

The full Schmincke pastel colour range includes 400 tones classified in 75 colour rows plus a range of neutral greys, extra dark colours, pearl lustre and metallic colours. Each of the 75 colour rows contain five pastels which are all variations on a pigment colour: one pure pigment pastel, one with added black, and three with increasing amounts of white added to lighten the colour. This gives a great colour spectrum and allows you to work with total freedom, knowing you have the right pastel for the job.

This set contains the complete assortment of 400 pastels. The pastels are arranged by colour in four removable wooden trays. These trays slot into the splendid presentation case, which is made of stained walnut. This case would make a stunning gift for any pastel artist.

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.

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 are made in Northumberland and contain only pure pigments in a cycle of related hues, instead of adding white or black to the colours. The result is intense, vibrant colour not muddied by the blending of colours.

Unison's pastels contain very little binder, making them truly soft and smooth. They are mixed to meticulous recipes and are based on traditional pigments such as cadmiums, cobalts and natural and synthetic earths.

A broad spectrum of 60 colors to help you capture the sunrises and sunsets in pastels!

Each pastel in the Terry Ludwig range is crafted by hand with a broad range of pigments and minimal, natural binders. This results in a pastel which has a high-concentrated pigment and is velvety soft. Terry Ludwig began experimenting with formulas for making his own pastels in 1995 as he was frustrated with the lack of color options available and few choices for very soft pastels. He wanted to create a broad range of colors that were uniformly soft regardless of the density of the hue. There are now over 500 intense colors.

The square shape of the pastel allows you to equally create thick, broad strokes or thin, precise lines. The size and shape of each pastel may differ slightly as each one is handcrafted. Each pastel measures 1 1/2 inches x 1/2 x 1/2.

This set includes each of the following colours:  Y030, G340, A060, A092, R422, A010, R010, R060, V450, V344, G062, B290, Y032, Y073, A080, A272, R482, A040, R020, R269, V340, V052, T320, T080, Y034, Y072, Y010, A046, R484, A054, R032, R268, V339, V375, B522, B542, Y036, G342, A042, A048, R442, A020, R034, R267, V372, V272, B203, B080, Y077, Y074, A044, Y076, R362, R349, R246, R266, B562, V292, T376, B166

This 60-piece Skies & Water Set was hand chosen by renowned artist Liz Haywood-Sullivan. This is a great set for pastelists interested in painting landscapes, skies, and water. “This set is something I have been working on for a long time, made up of colors found in two of my favourite subjects, skies and water. Working closely with master colorologist Terry Ludwig and his staff in creating it, I was mindful of choosing colors not commonly found in other sets to prevent replication. In fact, some of the blues and greys were specially formulated for this set.” “With these pastels you should have all the colors, and values, you need to create a complete sky or water painting. Enjoy!” –Artist Liz Haywood-Sullivan.

Holbein Soft Pastels are a range of carefully selected artist quality colours with a soft powdery consistency that glides smoothly onto paper. Richly pigmented, they offer excellent blending and covering power.

Colours are tested in line with the standards of Holbein’s watercolour range for the best possible lightfastness and are composed mainly of colours with no or minor discolouration. Batches of each colour are monitored to guarantee an even distribution of pigment and binder.

This set contains 24 assorted soft pastels in a selection of essential colours.

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.

The pastels are made in Northumberland and contain only pure pigments in a cycle of related hues, instead of adding white or black to the colours. The result is intense, vibrant colour not muddied by the blending of colours. Unison's pastels contain very little binder, making them truly soft and smooth.

Set Contents:

Working with Schmincke’s finest extra soft pastels will give you a completely unique drawing experience. They have an incredibly high concentration of top quality pigment powder held together by the absolute minimum amount of binding agent - just enough to ensure that they remain a stable compound. Unlike many pastels on the market, they also do not contain chalk or additives which helps keep their colouration pure and consistent throughout each pastel.

This stripped-back recipe results in such soft pastels that Schmincke had to design a costly and time-consuming manufacturing process to stop them from breaking. Each lump of pre-kneaded pastel dough is rolled into rounded skeins which are sectioned by hand and laid onto a sheet. The skeins are then cut by hand with a wire-strung frame and transferred onto wooden palettes where they are left to dry for around 2 weeks. By this time they are so soft that they need to be wrapped by hand and gently placed in their foam packaging. Each pastel is covered in an information sheet that denotes its colour name, number and grade of graduation:

B - the black graduation D - the pure colour H - the darkest white graduation M - the medium white graduation O - the lightest white graduation

This set combines Robert Dutton’s book Drawing Dramatic Landscapes with his Unison Colour Moorland Set of 36 Soft Pastels which has been selected in collaboration with Unison.

The Moorland Set of 36 Unison Pastels has been carefully put together by Dutton to include colours that he believes are essential in capturing moorland fells and hills. Unison pastels are made in Northumberland and contain only pure pigments in a cycle of related hues, instead of adding white or black to the colours. The result is an intense, vibrant colour not muddied by the blending of colours. Unison's pastels contain very little binder, making them truly soft and smooth.

His book, The Innovative Artist: Drawing Dramatic Landscapes, examines new ways of using graphite, charcoal, pastel, and mixed media to create dramatic landscape drawings. Dutton uses his expressive, loose drawing and painting style to capture the landscape's power and drama. Robert combines media such as liquid graphite, inks, metallic inks, charcoal, paint and drawing pastels, and also experiments with collage work.

This is a highly instructive guide, with numerous exercises and larger step-by-step projects throughout the book showing how Dutton works. Alongside this, are numerous examples of the author’s finished artworks accompanied by informative captions explaining the methods used to create them, thereby providing both instruction and inspiration.

Robert Dutton is a fine artist and tutor, winning regular fine art awards for his distinctive and expressive style of work in numerous international competitions.

The Unison Colour Robert Dutton Moorland Set of 36 contains the following colours:
WHITE (GREY28), A2, A3, A31, A34, A35, OB11, BG9, OB10, OB4, BGE1, LIGHT 15, RED7, RED9, Y8, Y12, GRN24, GRN21, GRN13, GRN14, GRN17, GRN18, LT2, OR2, DK24, BV12, NE4, NE13, NE7, DK5, BE36, GREY14, BV6, BE6, BE23 and LT11.

This set of 175 Sennelier Soft Pastels contains a briliant selection of the Sennelier Soft Pastel Range and is presented in a beautifully varnished wooden box.

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.

Sennelier Soft Pastels are one of the world's largest chromatic pastel ranges and consist of high quality pure pigment finely grounded with a natural binder. The high quality composition of “à l’écu” pastels is the result of a perfect balance between binder and pigment. For gradient shades, increasing amounts of mineral fines are added, ultimately tending towards white. The exceptional brightness is the result of the pigment and of the natural mineral fines discovered by Sennelier in 1905 and that have been used ever since.

The manufacturing process of the Sennelier cylindrical pastel does not compress the paste and the pastel dries naturally in open air. The life span of a piece of work is guaranteed by the quality of the pastel, but also by the quality of the substrate. 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.

This set of pastels makes a wonderful art gift for any professional pastel artist, or is a luxurious treat to yourself.

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.

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.
