The precision of a pencil meets the softness of pastel

This carefully curated collection of pastel pencils brings together Faber-Castell's heritage of fine craftsmanship with the expressive possibilities of pastel art. Each pencil contains a high level of pigment in an oil and wax-free formula, creating the perfect balance between control and blendability that makes pastel drawing so rewarding.

The twelve thoughtfully chosen colours span from essential whites and creams through rich earth tones and deep blacks, providing a complete palette for figure drawing, landscapes, and detailed artistic work. What sets these pencils apart is their ability to be sharpened to a fine point for intricate details, yet blend effortlessly when smudged, creating those signature soft colour transitions that make pastel work so captivating.

Encased in sustainable California red cedar and featuring Faber-Castell's innovative SV bonding process, these pencils maintain their soft pastel quality whilst offering the durability needed for detailed work. Unlike traditional soft pastels, they create minimal dust and mess, making them perfect for artists who love pastel techniques but prefer cleaner working conditions.

Suitable for children aged 12 years and up
