Schmincke Extra-Soft Pastels Cardboard Box Set of 10 + 1 White XL

Schmincke Finest Extra-Soft Artists' Pastels Box Sets of Assorted Colors

Schmincke’s finest extra-soft pastels contain only the purest medium ground pigments. They keep the binding agent amount small, to ensure a stable compound. To guarantee the highest quality Schmincke manufactures the pastels using a special recipe that avoids the use of machinery. ‘Worm extruders’ form the pre-kneaded dough into round skeins, which are then detached by hand and cut in a wire-strung frame. The damp sticks have to dry for around eight days before they can be labeled and packed by hand. This is a costly and time-consuming process; but, it is the only way to guarantee the quality and smoothness of each color. You can rest assured that your favorite color shade is consistent in its color and lay down.

The set of 10 + 1 White set includes the colors 001 D White, 007 D Titanium Yellow, 009 H Vanadium Yellow Deep, 043 D Bordeaux, 048 D Quinacridone Violet, 052 D Manganese Violet, 060 D Ultramarine Blue Deep, 650 D Cobalt Turquoise, 083 D Bohemian Green, 894 D Silver, and 893 D Gold.
