Pitt artists' pastel pencils, with their oil-free pastel leads, are used by artists not only as the perfect complement to pastel crayons for elaborating fine details, but also on their own. Many artists who enjoy pastel techniques and their versatility, but not the dirty hands and coloured dust that accompany them, have opted to use these special pencils. Pitt pastel pencils have a very compact lead which is economical to use. The lead contains a high level of pigment, making the pencils ideally suited both to drawing lines and shading, as well as blending and merging into delicate colour transitions. The colour selection in this range places a particular emphasis on the muted shades and earth tones that are especially important for pastel drawing.

The Faber-Castell Pitt pastel pencils have a high pigment content, are wax and oil free and are therefore perfect for fine details in pastels. Only minimal fixation is required, so the pastels retain their vividness of color. Excellent lightfastness and brilliant colours. Ideal for fine and intricate details. Can be sharpened with an erasing knife.
