Faber Castell Pitt pastel pencils have a wax-free pastel lead that can be completely smudged and must therefore be fixed afterwards. The colours are highly pigmented, luminous and have excellent lightfast qualities and colour stability after fixing. They are based mainly on inorganic colour pigments which offer a very soft, balanced and harmonious colour range.

Pitt pastel pencils are particularly suitable for lines, hatching, fine colour gradations and also for large areas. They can be used for sketches, studies, portraits, still life and landscapes.
