Key Features

  • Extra-Large 4.7 mm Lead: A robust, high-density core allows for smooth, powdery laydown, sweeping color application, and high resistance to core breakage during sharpening.

  • Exceptional Lightfastness: Formulated with ultra-pure, concentrated pigments, most colors in the range achieve Blue Wool Scale ratings ensuring your artwork resists fading for decades.

  • Effortless Blending & Layering: The velvety, dry texture smudges smoothly with a stump, tortillon, or fingertip, layering beautifully over hard and soft pastels without scratching underlying surfaces.

  • Premium Cedar Casing: Encased in top-grade cedar wood that sharpens cleanly with a craft knife or sandpaper block to preserve fragile pastel tips.

  • Color-Coded End Caps: Hexagonal barrel design prevents rolling off studio slanted desks, featuring accurate color-dipped caps matching the core pigment exactly.
