Daler-Rowney are acknowledged as the world masters in the making of artists’ pastels - and to complement the range of almost 200 tints, there are specialist surfaces and fixatives. The finest pigments are blended with chalk and china clay to produce the vibrant colour and smooth velvet texture of Artists’ Soft Pastels, each one carefully wrapped by hand. The rich, deep colour, texture and immediacy of Artists’ Soft Pastels is ideal for all kinds of drawing and painting as well as quick colour sketches for preparatory work.
Mount Vision soft pastels are hand made by Karl Kelly using the
finest traditional and synthetic pigments combined with a base of
chalk, talc and clay to produce a pastel with a wonderful buttery
feel, yet durable and strong. Pastel Size: 1/2"x 2 3/4"

They contain only the purest medium fine ground artists' pigments, which are in the highest possible concentration. Contrastingly, the binding agent content, is kept to a minimum, which ensures a stable compound. In order to guarantee the highest quality it is necessary to manufacture Schmincke pastels using special recipes which avoid the use of machinery during manufacture. 'Worm extruders' form the pre-kneaded dough into round skeins, which are then detached by hand and cut in a wirestrung frame. The damp sticks have to dry for around eight days before they can be labelled and packed by hand. This is a costly and time consuming process, however it is the only way Schmincke can guarantee homogenous quality and smoothness in all the production cycles.
All tones are made up of delicate shade gradients, tending towards white.Their comfortable handling and large contact surface allow large areas to be covered with a high degree of regularity.
Only lightfast, high density mineral pigments are used in the
manufacture of Blue Earth Pastels. The pastels are almost square in
shape and are on the very soft end of the hardness scale. Each
stick has a number imprinted for easy identification. Blue Earth
offer an impressive colour selection, with new Turquoise, Nearly
Neutral Warm and Nearly Neutral Cool colours recently added to the
original colour ranges. Stick Size: approx. 1/2" x 7/16" x 1 3/16"

PanPastel Colours are professional grade soft pastel colours packed in a unique pan format (cake-like) so that they can be mixed and applied like paint. They are very low dust for a cleaner working environment.All 80 PanPastel Colours are made using a unique manufacturing process requiring minimal binder and fillers, resulting in rich, ultra soft and low dust formulations.Only professional artists' grade pigments are used for the most concentrated colours possible. The colours have excellent lightfastness and are fully erasable.Each pan contains 40%* more material than the average pastel stick, and yields approx. 4-5 times more coverage than sticks.
PanPastel Colours are fully compatible with:
Pastel sticks, pencils, markers.
Other artist's colours and mediums for mixed media techniques.
Most art & craft surfaces (from delicate handmade papers to toothy pastel surfaces).
Conventional spray fixatives.

Excellent colour releaseIntense and pure coloursGood to highest degree of lightfastnessVery high colouring power due to high concentration of pigmentFree of pigments based on the metals lead, cadmium and cobalt.The complete range consists of 203 coloursThe composition of soft pastels is such that the colour on the ground approaches that of pure pigment as much as possible. This is achieved through a combination of pigment, a minimal amount of binder and the purest and softest types of kaolin, also referred to as pipe clay or China clay. the balanced proportion of these ingredients results in an as spontaneous as possible colour transfer and a velvety look.

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.

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.
