Blockx Soft Pastel - L67xH13mm

Blockx Soft Pastel in Yellow Ochre 1 is a handmade, velvety soft pastel formed into a refined stick, delivering a warm, earthy ochre tone with natural depth and a softly muted character ideal for landscapes, portrait underpainting, and tonal structure. Formulated from mono pigment PY42, this pastel offers a stable, mineral-based yellow ochre with excellent chromatic consistency. The high pigment concentration ensures strong covering power, smooth layering, and controlled blending without loss of tonal integrity. Soft yet non-friable, this dry pastel provides strong covering power without crumbling, allowing for confident layering, blending, and expressive mark making. It performs beautifully across surfaces, particularly specialist pastel papers. The richness of the pigment ensures outstanding lightfastness, preserving brilliance over time while maintaining fresh, clean tonal clarity in both subtle highlights and bold passages of colour. Fully light-resistant and water-dilutable, Blockx Soft Pastels offer technical versatility alongside professional permanence, combining artisanal craftsmanship with uncompromising pigment quality.
