Van Gogh Soft Pastel Starter Set 12 Colours is a student-to-artist quality soft pastel collection designed as an introduction to pastel drawing and painting. The slim, round pastel sticks can be used on their edges for detailed work or on their sides for smooth application across larger areas.

The pastels are formulated with high-quality pigments and kaolin clay, providing vibrant colour transfer, a soft velvety appearance, and improved resistance to crumbling during use. The pigments are free from heavy metals including lead, cadmium, and cobalt. Suitable for use on textured papers, cardboard, wood, stone, and other surfaces with sufficient tooth to hold pastel layers.

Colours offer good to excellent lightfastness for lasting artwork. As with all dry pastels, finished pieces should be protected with a suitable fixative to reduce smudging and preserve colour.
