Create authentic pastel drawings with quick, easy color laydown. Derwent"s firm, smooth pastels are ideal for creating broad, bold strokes of color, with a square shape and texture that allows artists to use the ends, sides, or edges to produce both broad and fine lines. Although not as dusty as soft pastels, the effect is equally beautiful and perhaps a little more manageable. Derwent pastels work well with other media and will adhere to most papers, although the ideal choice is one with a coarse-grain surface. Every set includes a "Blending White" pastel, which allows easy blending without affecting color density. Sticks are 2-7/8" long × 1/4" square.This set includes these colors: Deep Cadmium, Geranium Lake, Crimson Lake, Spectrum Blue, Prussian Blue, Hookers Green, Emerald Green, Umber, Orange Earth, Burnt Sienna, Ivory Black, Chinese White, and Blending White.
