Calcium carbonate and pigment. For use on paper and pastel surfaces. Keep away from eyes.

What is the pigment loading like compared to cheaper pastels?

• High pigment loading delivers noticeably richer, more saturated colour and better coverage per stroke than economy pastels with higher filler content.

Can these be used with fixative?

• Yes — a light application of fixative between layers is the standard technique for building up sustained pastel work without disrupting earlier layers. ---
