Description

Precision pastels for the discerning artist. The Faber-Castell Pitt Pastel Colour Pencil Tin delivers rich, lightfast pigments in a convenient pencil format. These wax and oil-free pastel pencils produce vivid colour that can be easily blended and smudged to create seamless transitions, making them ideal for fine detail work and expressive figure drawing.

Unlike traditional soft pastels, the wooden-cased pencil design offers superior control for intricate linework while still allowing broad shading techniques. Each pencil features a 4.3mm lead diameter with a high concentration of artist-grade pigment, and only minimal fixing is required to preserve the vibrancy of finished work.

Professional Tips

Apply gentle pressure for delicate shading and increase pressure for intense colour saturation. Use a paper stump or finger to blend colours directly on the surface. A light application of fixative will preserve the finished piece without dulling the pastel tones.
