Blockx Soft Pastel - L67xH13mm

Blockx Soft Pastel in Red Ochre 5 is a handmade, velvety soft pastel presenting a warm, earthy red-brown tone inspired by natural iron oxides, ideal for landscape, portrait, and classical studies. Formulated with mono-pigment PR102, a natural iron oxide renowned for its stability and permanence, this pastel delivers excellent opacity, balanced chromatic strength, and consistent colour integrity without fillers or additives. The high pigment concentration ensures strong coverage and depth. Soft yet non-friable, this dry pastel provides strong covering power without crumbling, allowing for confident layering, blending, and expressive mark making. It performs beautifully across surfaces, particularly specialist pastel papers. The richness of the pigment ensures outstanding lightfastness, preserving brilliance over time while maintaining fresh, clean tonal clarity in both subtle highlights and bold passages of colour. Fully light-resistant and water-dilutable, Blockx Soft Pastels offer technical versatility alongside professional permanence, combining artisanal craftsmanship with uncompromising pigment quality.
