36 firm pastel color sticks
 
Prismacolor Nupastel Colored Pastel Sticks, Set of 36 Assorted Colors (27050). These pastel sticks are tougher than traditional soft pastels, but maintain the same rich, creamy pigments needed for superior blending and shading. Nupastels are stronger than ordinary soft pastels which means less breakage and easier clean-up. Beneficial for artists at all expertise levels, especially those interested in illustration or tightly rendered drawings. Because they can be used wet or dry, it’s like a two-for-one deal-- mix them with water or odorless mineral spirits to create cool effects.

• Rich creamy texture for easy blending and shading.
• Stronger than traditional soft pastels for less breakage and easier clean-up.
