Elements Soft Pastels (12 Pack)

Elements soft pastels have a soft texture which allows for easy blending and layering. Artists
can use their fingers, blending stumps, or brushes to create smooth transitions of color.

This makes them ideal for achieving gradients, shading, and soft transitions in portraits, landscapes, or abstract works.

Soft pastels are often used on textured surfaces, such as pastel paper, which has a rougher
texture to grip the pigment, or sanded paper, which holds more layers of pigment. Some artists also use canvas or board that has been treated to accept pastel.

Unlike paints, soft pastels don?t require drying time. They are immediate, meaning the artist can work quickly and make changes easily without waiting for layers to dry. This is one of the
reasons they?re favored by artists for spontaneous or expressive work.
