Introduction To Soft Pastels
Beginners Soft Pastel Tips from Rebecca de Mendonça. If you’re new to soft pastels or have always wanted to try, this free PDF guide will help you Get Started.
This colourful guide covers all the basics, including what surface to work on, how to set up your workspace and how to clean and look after your pastels.

Artist Set
'This set is designed for those wanting to steer their work out of the monochrome and into colour. It will help you see more values in your highlights, midtones and shadows. Combined with your existing collection this set will ensure you have the right shades and tints for every lighting.'
Blendable
Because we use the best ingredients, our pastels have superior blending capabilities, used wet or dry.
Soft and Smooth
With careful use of binder, our pastels are often described as 'smooth as butter' and need no encouragement to leave their mark.
Highly Pigmented
We use a high percentage of traditional pigments for the deepest colouration.
Lightfast
Colour that stands the test of time.
Handmade
Made, labelled and packed completely by hand. No extrusion.
