The world's most popular soft pastel in 203 colors of unsurpassed glow, purity and intensity. Rembrandt Pastels are made from the best quality, finely ground pure pigments in an extra-fine Kaolin clay binder. The result is a velvety smooth softenss in every color. Each rich color is thoroughly blended and uniform, end to end. Rembrandt Pastels are hand-checked throughout production to ensure artists the consistency in texture, color and working qualities on which they have come to depend.
Each round Rembrandt pastel stick has a transparent label printed with information valuable to the artist: the color name and number; the number suffix indicating whether it is a pure tone (.5), a shade (.3), or a tint (.7. .8, .9); and the lightfastness rating. Lightfastness is especially important when using pastels, since they are practically pure pigment and very susceptible to light. About 70% of the Rembrandt Pastel line has the highest possible degree of lightfastness (+++).
These soft round pastels come in boxes of four of all one color.
