Van Gogh Soft Pastels Starter Set with 12 Colors

Pure, brilliant colours in the form of soft pastels for anyone who wants to emulate the quality of the artist in training. Van Gogh's slim, rounded pastels are ideal for using the edges for details or the sides for broad areas. High-quality pigments and kaolin clay come together in this product with easy colour transfer and a velvety look, which is less likely to chip. The pigments used are free of heavy metals: lead, cadmium and cobalt. Pastels work great on rougher surfaces to which the pastel can adhere, such as paper, cardboard, stone, asphalt or wood. Pastel drawings and paintings can stain and it is recommended to apply a coat of fixative to the finished artwork. The colours have a lightfastness rating of good (25-100 years under museum conditions) to excellent (100+ years under museum conditions). This starter set of 12 pastels contains the following general colours: White(5) (100.5), Dark Yellow(5) (202.5), Lemon Yellow(5) (205.5), Yellow Ochre(5) (227.5), Madder Lake Deep(3) (331.3), Permanent Red(5) (372.5), Burnt Umber(5) (409.5), Ultramarine Deep(5) (506.5), Red Violet(5) (545.5), Phthalo Blue(7) (570.7), Permanent Green Deep(5) (619.5), Black(5) (700.5).
