Since their creation in 1899, Rembrandt Soft Pastels have become one of the most popular artist pastels in the world. Rembrandt pastels are made from the purest pigments and mixed with the finest quality kaolin clay binder. These pastels are harder in consistency than many soft pastels, allowing for more control and definition in your painting.
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. Full sticks measure 2-3/4" long × 7/16" diameter (70 mm × 11 mm) and are paper wrapped to be sold in sets or individually. Half sticks are available only in sets and are not paper wrapped.
