About this material
Schmincke Soft Pastels are round-stick pastels made by Schmincke, a German paint maker. They hold a lot of strong pigment. Only a very small amount of binder, the material that holds the stick together, is used.
The range has 400 colors. It is built on 75 base colors. Each comes in five steps: the pure color, a darker shade mixed with black, and three lighter tints mixed with white. There are also 10 grays, plus gold, silver, and pearl colors.
Because each color comes in several values, you can color light and dark areas with shades of the same hue.
