pure, brilliant and intense, and remain that way. The very best
pigments are selected and triple milled at maximum concentration to
bring out the finest colour and provide the rich, velvety bloom
valued by pastellists. This method of production produces
smouldering darks, brilliant and intense pure colours and a range
of subtle and delicate tints. All Art Spectrum pure pigment pastels
are free from heavy metals, asbestos or other toxic substances.
Each pastel measures 70x12mm The code of each colour within the Art
