Caran D'Ache Pastel Pencil – Herculanum Red

Introducing the Caran d'Ache Pastel Pencils – a smart and tidy alternative to traditional dry pastels with an extensive palette of over 80 vibrant hues. Encased in fine cedar wood, these pencils boast a robust 4.7mm lead composed of ultra-fine, water-soluble pigments renowned for their exceptional lightfastness. Crafted from responsibly sourced FSC-certified wood, each pencil showcases the Caran d'Ache logo along with its unique colour code. The matte barrel cap perfectly matches the colour of the lead, adding an elegant touch. For optimal results, we recommend sharpening these pencils with a blade for precision, and you can further enhance colour stability by using a fixative. These pencils are the result of a close collaboration with seasoned pastel artists and proudly crafted in Switzerland.
