Keep Smiling Soft Pastels has vibrant colours that will bring your painting to life, and a soft chalky texture that makes it easy to release its content on your surface. This should not be mistaken with chalk pastels as it has a very high concentration of pigment that is held together by the least amount of gum binder as possible. As a result, they crumble very easily, but their colours are wonderfully intense. Keep Smiling soft pastels are suitable for everything from subtle detailed work to rich expressive art, and works well on Canvas, textured paper, and cardboards.
