Key Features & Benefits

Artistic Application Tips
This white pastel pencil is excellent for creating highlights. Unlike soft pastels, it is best applied by placing pure colors side by side in a patchwork manner rather than successive additions of color. For a clearer and sharper highlight stroke, use the white square directly. You can also soften tones by rubbing them with a bread crumb eraser.
