Soft Form pastels are cigar shaped smooth flowing pastels that are desinged to fit well in the hand. They are easy to pick up, apply and put down.
The sought after nature of Townsend pastels is largely due to the unique formula. The pastels are very densely pigmented, providing great clarity and excellent covering power. Pumice is utilised as an ingredient in the pastels. The pumice allows the pastel colour to embed into the fibres of the paper it is applied to whilst still maintaining very smooth application.
