{"title":"Pastel Pencils","description":"\u003cp\u003eThese solve the one problem soft pastels have, which is that a stick cannot do detail. The pigment core sharpens to a point and lets you work fine lines and edges, then blend them like any pastel. The trade-off is that the surface is still unfixed and will smudge in a folder, so finished work needs a fixative or a cover sheet.

They single it out for blending and hatching, and for expressive sketches and portraits. The lead diameter is approx. 3.6 mm, thick enough for broad tone yet sharpenable to a point.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese colours are the traditional chalk drawing set. Sanguine and the sepias build skin, shadow and form on toned paper, umber deepens the darks and white lifts highlights.
