BlockX Soft Pastel 12 Piece Set, Dark Colours

Discover the depth and intensity of colour with BlockX Soft Pastels in a curated selection of dark tones. Handmade in Belgium since 1865, these pastels are crafted using traditional methods and highly concentrated pigments sourced from around the world. Each stick delivers exceptional coverage, smooth application and a beautifully velvety texture. Their non-friable composition ensures strength while still offering effortless blending and layering. Designed for artists who value both tradition and performance, they bring dramatic expression to every artwork.

These pastels are perfectly suited to pastel papers but can be used on a wide range of surfaces for versatile creativity. Their strong lightfastness helps preserve the brilliance and richness of colours over time. Slow grinding with a porphyry stone keeps pigments cool and finely milled for optimal purity and smoothness. The dark palette offers striking contrasts, deep shadows and atmospheric depth. This set is ideal for both professional artists and passionate beginners exploring pastel techniques.
