Caran d'Ache Pastel Pencils are presented in a sturdy foam lined box to prevent the leads from breaking in transit. The large leads (4.7mm) can be sharpened to a strong point for drawing fine detail. The leads are housed in a high-quality cedar wood casing to prevent damage during sharpening and use.

These hexagonal in shaped pastel pencils work at their best when sharpened with a knife or sandpaper block.

Carefully selected by leading pastel artists, Caran d'Ache Pastel Pencil Sets are intended for both beginners and experienced amateur or professional artists. Ideal for preliminary work, the sets are also perfect for detailed finishing of a huge variety of subjects.
