This set of 60-piece Basic Values set was selected by Maggie Price, and is organized into 12 color families, with five values of each, from darkest to lightest – a perfect foundation for your collection of Terry Ludwig Pastels. This is a great starter set for new pastelists. Each pastel is crafted with a broad range of pigments by hand with minimal natural binders. This renders highly concentrated, velvety pastels. The square shape delivers thick, broad strokes or thin, precise lines where necessary. The size of these pastels are approximately 1 1/2″ x 1/2″ x 1/2″. Because each pastel is handcrafted, the size and shape may vary slightly.
