GIOCONDA 8100 square hard pastels represent a traditional product of the KOH-I-NOOR HARDTMUTH Company, popular for a long time.,Gioconda hard pastels are rich in colour as the perfectly dispersed top quality pigments are carefully selected and purchased from renowned manufacturers around the world. Their light permanency and dosed concentration influence the final result and durability of the artwork. ,Therefore, for this reason a high concentration of dosing colour pigments has been prescribed for this product in the entire colour range. Another important component is white clay, usually bleached kaolin of the highest purity and fineness. It gives these hard pastels, along with the addition of binders and other additives, an unsurpassable ability to make a unique stroke on paper or another medium. The pastels contain a set of unique components which ensure convenient full colour strokes without the necessity of higher pressure. This handy feature is also enhanced with a preparation of pastels in special oils. Turpentine may also be used for mixing the colours. The quadratic shape also provides, with the exception of common drawing techniques, the possibility to cover large areas with the technique of longitudinal edge drawing. In addition, it enables fine drawing. The square shape therefore undoubtedly provides more inspiration.
