The pastel sticks of Cretacolor are traditional hard pastel sticks measuring 7 cm (length) x 6 mm. They are characterized by their soft texture and distinctive drawing quality. Thanks to their high pigment content, they create rich layers and offer intense and bright colors. Their square shape allows for the design of quick bold lines or the creation of fine and refined lines using their edges.

The colors can be easily blended together using hands or tools such as a blending stump, and can be dissolved with water for beautiful watercolor effects. Cretacolor's pastel sticks harmoniously combine with pastel pencil colors or other products from the same company.

For easy use, a pastel extender is recommended to avoid breaking the pastel.
