Sharpen your creative edge with square pastels that are fabulous whichever way you look at them. Use the sides for broad strokes, ends for bold lines or corners for details. Just made to be matched with textured paper or card for strong, vivid colours that stay vibrant longer.

Pastels are made from colour pigment held together by a solid binder and have been used since the Renaissance due to their versatility, depth of colour and go-anywhere attitude. There’s no need to mix with water as they are perfect for dry use and can open up a whole range of creative techniques like feathering, stippling and even scumbling if you feel particularly bold.
