Rembrandt pastels have a number of characteristics and unique features including the perfect degree of softness. They are so soft that a large amount of colour is immediately released, and yet hard enough not to powder quickly. The very high colour intensity and purity ensure that each piece of work has a brilliant finish. No pigments containing heavy metals are used, such as cadmium, lead and cobalt, in the production of Rembrandt soft pastels.

The sets are beautifully gift packaged with foam inserts. Individual sticks are paper wrapped, and measure 2-3/4" long x 7/16".
