Thirty-Six Square Soft Pastels for Blending and Layering

Staedtler 2430 C36 is a cardboard box of 36 soft pastel chalks in assorted colours, each a square stick of 10 x 10 x 65 mm wrapped in a paper sleeve.

Staedtler list brilliant colours, a high degree of light fastness, soft marking and easy blending. The square section gives two ways of working with one stick: the corner for crisp lines and small details, the long flat side for laying broad colour across a sky or a background. Smudge with a fingertip or a blending stump to soften edges, then build layers on top.

The paper sleeve keeps more of the chalk off your fingers while you hold the stick. As with any soft pastel drawing, Staedtler recommend fixing finished work, and a paper with some tooth holds more layers than smooth copy paper.

The 36 box sits between the 24 set and the 48 colours Staedtler make in the range, which makes it a sound choice for art students, adult beginners and anyone moving on from a starter box. See pastels, oil pastels, art and craft supplies and the Staedtler range.

FAQs

Staedtler give 10 x 10 x 65 mm, so roughly 10 mm across each flat side.
Staedtler recommend it. Soft pastel sits on the surface of the paper, so a fixative helps reduce smudging when artwork is handled or stacked.
No. 2430 soft pastels are dry chalk sticks that blend by rubbing. Staedtler sell oil pastels as a separate range, 2420, for a different way of working.
Staedtler state a high degree of light fastness. They do not publish a rating per colour, so keep important pieces out of strong direct sun.
A paper with some texture or tooth, such as pastel or drawing paper, grips more layers than smooth office paper. Dark papers make the brighter colours stand out.
