Blockx Soft Pastel - L67xH13mm

Blockx Soft Pastel in Caput Mortuum 1 offers a deep, earthy red-brown tone with subtle violet undertones, valued for classical portraiture, shadow modelling, and atmospheric landscape work. Formulated with PR101 mono-pigment, this pastel delivers a strong, stable iron oxide colour with excellent opacity and consistent chromatic character. The high pigment concentration ensures dense coverage without fillers or additives. 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.
