The pigments are purchased from renowned manufacturers all over the world. Their quality, light permanency and dosed concentration influence the final result as well as the durability of the artworks.Thanks to the diameter of the lead, 3.8 mm, this product provides excellent artistic potential for all users. Noble wood, from which the pencil is made, allows simple sharpening and therefore it is possible to draw even very fine details with the pencils. They are therefore suitable for detailed drawing as a supplement to round soft pastels.The basic characteristic of round soft pastels is simple distribution in sufficient quantity within the appropriate medium, which allows the consequent distribution of colour dust particles. This technique provides unlimited possibilities of change of the richness and tone. With the amount of distribution we can achieve shading of the drawing more simply.
