Cretacolor Fine Art Pastel Pencils are perfect for fine detailed work. Their rich pigmentation and a high degree of lightfastness guarantee brilliant results. The colours have a powdery texture and can be blended, smudged or dissolved with water. They are distinguished by their soft, velvet-smooth stroke.

Cretacolor recommends sharpening the pastel pencils with sandpaper. Also, short cone sharpeners for chalk pencils like the Cretacolor Sharpener or Artist’s Sharpener or hand-cranked pencil sharpeners (with short point adjustment) are suitable. Where sharpeners with a regular blade are used, they should be replaced regularly.
