Caran d'Ache - Pastel Pencil - Sets

The softness of dry pastel and its countless effects – blurred, powdery, blended or flat-wash – reflect the highly exclusive world of pastel painters.

This area of expertise, reserved for initiates, was the subject of intense research by the Maison Caran d'Ache colour workshops. The decision in favour of complementary shades appeared the obvious route and involved offering an extremely wide range of colours comprising 84 hues.

Keen to perfect this precious medium while following the advice of masters in the art of pastels, Caran d'Ache has endowed its Pastel Pencils range with optimum properties. Extra-fine, highly concentrated pigments offer wonderful luminosity and excellent covering power along with exceptional lightfastness.

The large, 4.7 mm wide diameter of the pastel lead ensures colour smoothness, resistance to smudging and precise lines.

SWISS MADE

The Pastel Pencils range is designed and manufactured in the Geneva workshops of Caran d'Ache, in line with eco-friendly standards and certifications and according to the Swiss Made quality label.
