Rembrandt Artists' Soft Pastels are made from the best quality, pure pigments finely ground in an extra-fine Kaolin clay binder. They have a velvety smooth softness and are thoroughly blended and uniform, without hard bits or sharp edges that could cause shiny spots or scratches during application. Each round pastel stick is paper-wrapped and printed with the colour name and number, the price series letter, the lightfastness rating and the number suffix indicating whether it is a shade (.3), pure tone (.5), or a tint (.7, .8, .9, etc.).

We offer you the full range of Rembrandt colours in open stock. Rembrandt pastels are made from the purest pigments and mixed with the finest quality kaolin clay binder. No pigments containing heavy metals, such as cadmium, lead, and cobalt, are used in production, which ensures that the pastels have no hard bits or sharp edges.

These pastels are harder in consistency than many soft pastels, allowing for more control and definition in your painting. Full sticks measure 2-3/4" long × 7/16" diameter (70 mm × 11 mm). They are paper wrapped and are sold individually.

Sets contain full-stick pastels except where noted. Wood box sets feature sturdy, beautiful boxes with moulded foam inserts to protect the pastel sticks, making them both beautiful and practical. Half sticks are available only in sets. Half sticks measure 1-3/8" long and are unwrapped
