Working with Schmincke’s finest extra-soft pastels leads you back to the origin of colour and is a real painting experience rather than simple drawing.
The unsurpassed smoothness and quality of Schmincke’s finest pastels are legendary among experts, however occasionally the terms “crayon” or “chalk” come up in this connection.
