Holbein Square Soft Pastel Sets

The Holbein square soft pastels have a firmer consistency than the round pastels. Each stick is made in a square shape for working versatility, whether with the flat sides or the sharp edges. The degree of softness, pigment purity, size and shape as well as the method of packaging have been widely acclaimed by working pastelists.

The manufacturing process is entirely computerized and is mechanized from inception to final product. In the final stages of production, the computer lens scans every stick in order to guarantee even distribution of pigment. This ensures a predictably constant hue for use in sketching, undercoating and finished work.
