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.

Art Spectrum Soft Pastels provide the artist with colours that are pure, brilliant and intense, and remain that way. The very best pigments are selected and triple milled at maximum concentration to bring out the finest colour and provide the rich, velvety bloom valued by pastellists. This method of production produces smouldering darks, brilliant and intense pure colours and a range of subtle and delicate tints.

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.

Artist Quality Soft Pastels: Artist quality pastels are made with a higher concentration of pure pigment and less binder. This results in bold, vibrant colors with exceptional depth and intensity. They blend beautifully, cover a wide spectrum of shades, and are more resistant to fading, ensuring your artwork stays true to its original brilliance over time. Regular Quality Soft Pastels - Regular pastels contain more binder, which gives them a firmer, less crumbly texture. This makes them easier to handle, especially for fine lines and details. While the colours may be softer and less vivid than artist quality, they are reliable, easier to control, and well-suited for beginners or artists who prefer a smoother, sturdier pastel. Which Should You Choose? If you’re looking for maximum colour vibrancy, blend ability, and professional results, artist quality pastels are the perfect choice. If you prefer more control, cleaner handling, or are just starting your pastel journey, regular quality pastels are a great option.
