Blockx Soft Pastel - L67xH13mm

Blockx Soft Pastel in Flesh Ochre 2 is a handmade, velvety soft pastel formed into a refined stick, offering a balanced earthy tone with warm reddish undertones suited to portraiture, figure studies, and naturalistic shading. Formulated using pigments PBr7 and PR102, this pastel combines natural earth brown with iron oxide red to create a nuanced flesh-ochre shade. The high pigment concentration delivers strong covering power, smooth application, and reliable tonal layering without chalkiness. 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.
