Chalk-like in texture, soft pastels give artists a consistent range of effects when drawing, blending, shading, and layering. Colors are rich and intense. Suitable on almost any surface, pastel colors flourish on premium paper, pastel boards, sketch pads, and canvases of any size. Dry pastels perform especially well on rough, textured paper. The square-shaped pastel sticks allow for sharp edges while the broad pastel tip covers larger surface areas.
