Basics Chalk Pastels Pack of 12

The Basics Chalk Pastels Pack of 12 is an excellent, economical choice for art classrooms and individual artists looking for vibrant, smooth pastels that are perfect for layering, smudging, and mark making. This set provides a broad spectrum of colours, allowing students and artists to experiment with different techniques and effects, while offering great value for money.

The soft, blendable texture of these pastels allows for easy mixing and blending, making them perfect for creating rich, vibrant compositions. The 12 colours in the pack offer plenty of versatility for a range of drawing, painting, and illustration projects, providing a solid foundation for students learning about colour theory and shading techniques.

The Basics Chalk Pastels work best on paper with a slight tooth, which helps to grip the pastel and allows for better layering of colours. This makes them suitable for art projects such as still life, landscapes, and portraiture, as well as abstract art and textured pieces. To preserve the work, it is recommended to finish the artwork with a spray fixative to prevent smudging and ensure longevity.
