Because we use the best ingredients, our pastels have superior blending capabilities, used wet, or dry.
With careful use of binder, our pastels are often described as 'smooth as butter', and need no encouragement to leave their mark.
We use a high percentage of traditional pigments for the deepest colouration.
Colour that stands the test of time.
Made, labelled and packed completely by hand. No extrusion.

If you are a beginner to painting portraits in Pastel, this is for you, if you’re struggling because you feel you’ll never improve or your just starting out, this is for you and if you’re looking all around you, seeing beautiful art that you’ll never aspire too, this is also, for you. 
Do you work from photos or from life? This is not an either/or question. There are pros and cons to either approach and I prefer the best of both worlds.
Greys are a vast and complex family of colours that seasoned artists spend a life-time of pursuit in order to achieve and harness their incredible potential.
