The Faber-Castell Soft Pastel Set features 24 vibrant, highly-pigmented pastels with a soft, blendable texture. These half-length sticks provide smooth color application that can be easily blended with a finger or cloth. Suitable for beginners and hobbyists, the acid-free pastels work well for various artistic techniques. For best results, applying a fixative after completing your artwork is recommended to ensure its preservation.
