BLOCKX Soft Pastels – Set of 36 Portrait Colors

The BLOCKX Case of 36 Portrait Soft Pastels offers an expanded, professional palette designed specifically for portrait artists, figurative work, and expressive skin-tone studies. This carefully curated selection includes a broad range of warm and cool flesh tones, pinks, ochres, browns, greys, subtle greens, soft blues, and accent hues, allowing for refined transitions, depth, and lifelike modeling.

Handmade using traditional methods, BLOCKX soft dry pastels are renowned for their velvety softness, high pigment concentration, and exceptional covering power. The sticks are non-friable and comfortable to handle, delivering smooth, controlled application with luminous color intensity. Each pastel is securely placed in a protective foam insert for clean handling and long-term durability.

These pastels feature excellent lightfastness, ensuring artwork remains vibrant over time. Ready to use straight from the box, they are also water-soluble, making them suitable for washes and mixed techniques. While they can be used on various surfaces, they perform best on high-quality pastel papers.

This 36-color portrait set is ideal for professional artists and advanced students seeking greater nuance, chromatic range, and control when rendering skin tones, facial features, and figures.
