Backed by more than 50 years experience in creating professional artists’ colors, Art Spectrum has created a unique range of extra soft square pastels. This beautiful collection of colors includes everything from smoldering darks to delicate veils of highlight colors, every one exhibiting the rich velvety bloom loved by pastel artists. These soft, creamy pastels lay down smoothly and blend beautifully on paper. Their high-quality pigments are triple-milled to bring out the intensity of each color, and their unique square shape allows for broad strokes, gestural marks, and fine details. Art Spectrum Extra Soft Square Pastels are very lightfast. Each pastel measures 1/2" x 5/8" x 1-3/4" (13 mm x 16 mm x 45 mm).
