Box of 15 Schmincke portrait pastels

• Box of 15 extra soft pastels specially designed for portraits.
• Schmincke's pastels hark back to the origins of color. The extra soft pastel sticks are composed exclusively of the best pigments and a minimum amount of binders to allow a perfect bonding of even medium-fine pigments.
• Its manufacture is based on a very complex traditional procedure: screw presses shape the dough into round balls that are later collected by hand and cut to the necessary length. The bars, still wet, have to be air-dried for 8 days.
• Due to their very fine composition, machine processing is not possible, as they could break.
• Each stick is individually handcrafted with high-quality, highly concentrated pigments for exceptionally strong color application.
• It has a high resistance to light.
• Colours included: 014 D gold ochre, 016 O flesh ochre, 014 O gold ochre, 021 O Pozzuoli earth, 018 H burnt Sienna, 022 D English red, 040 H vermilion, 047 B rose madder, 057 D bluish violet, 002 O permanent yellow 1 lemon, 083 H Bohimian green, 093 M greenish gray 1, 036 B Vandyke brown and 038 B walnut brown.
