Van Gogh Soft Pastel General Selection Set is a student-to-artist quality soft pastel collection featuring a balanced palette suitable for drawing, sketching, landscapes, still life, and general pastel techniques. The slim, round pastel sticks can be used on their edges for detailed work or on their sides for smooth coverage of larger areas.

The pastels are formulated with high-quality pigments and kaolin clay, providing excellent colour transfer, a soft velvety finish, and improved resistance to crumbling. 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 long-lasting results. As with all dry pastels, finished artwork should be protected with a suitable fixative to help prevent smudging and preserve colour intensity. This 24-piece set features a carefully selected general-purpose palette containing primary colours, earth tones, greens, blues, violets, and neutral shades for a wide range of artistic applications.
