Caran d'Ache Pastel Pencil Set - 12 colors

Caran d'Ache Pastel Pencils feature high-quality, durable 4.7 mm leads with unparalleled coverage. This allows for smooth application and easy blendability. The unique texture adheres well to various surfaces, ensuring exceptional lightfastness and long-lasting vibrancy. We recommend sharpening with a cutter for best results.

The rounded, hexagonal shape provides a comfortable grip and is neatly finished with a clear varnish. As an added bonus, the matte-colored cap at the end of each pencil allows for quick and easy color identification.

The Standard Assortment of 12 Colors is a selection of basic colors to introduce the techniques of dry pastel work, particularly the use of primary colors and shadows. It is a practical choice for simpler projects or those brand new to pastels.
