BLOCKX Soft Pastels – Set of 24 Portrait Colors

The BLOCKX Case of 24 Portrait Soft Pastels is carefully curated for artists specializing in portraiture, figure studies, and skin-tone rendering. This professional selection includes a harmonious range of warm and cool flesh tones, subtle pinks, ochres, browns, greys, and soft accent colors, allowing for natural transitions, depth, and lifelike results.

Handmade using traditional methods, BLOCKX soft dry pastels are known for their exceptional softness, velvety texture, and strong covering power. The sticks are non-friable and comfortable to handle, delivering smooth, controlled application with rich pigment payoff. Each pastel is individually protected in a foam insert to ensure clean handling and durability.

Highly pigmented and excellent in lightfastness, these pastels produce luminous, long-lasting color. They are ready to use straight from the box and are also water-soluble, making them suitable for washes and mixed techniques. While compatible with many surfaces, they perform best on high-quality pastel papers.

This portrait-focused set is ideal for professional artists, art students, and anyone seeking refined control over skin tones and facial nuances.
