## Description

From the manufacturer About Faber-Castell Faber-Castell was established in 1761 by the cabinet maker Kaspar Faber, it is one of the oldest industrial companies in the world. The company is one of the world’s leading manufacturer of wood-cased pencils with a varied range of products for writing, drawing and creative design, as well as decorative cosmetics. Faber-Castell is renowned for its high quality, innovative products, commitment to tradition, and environmental awareness. Lothar von Faber took over the family business in 1839. He is remembered, in particular, as a pioneer of the branded article who in creating his own brand name set a new standard. Today the eighth generation family member Count Anton-Wolfgang von Faber-Castell, who took over as head of the company in 1978, has been instrumental in new product development and the expansion of international activities. Count Faber-Castell takes delight in rediscovering products from the past and recreating them with timeless design and modern technology. Pitt Pastel Pencils - Tin of 24 The Pitt pastel pencils contain a high level of pigment, but are wax and oil free, and are perfectly suited for fine details in pastels. Just like the Polychromos pastel crayons they can be easily smudged to create fine color transitions and perfectly complement the pastel crayons. Only minimal fixing is required, ensuring that the pastel drawings retain their vividness of color. Pitt Pastel Pencils Pitt Pastel Pencils are supreme quality and they have excellent light resistance and color brilliance, are grease and oil free, ideal for fine and elaborate details and can be sharpened with erasing knife or sharpening machine. Colours Included Colours included in this tin are white, cream, manganese violet, dark indigo, helioblue-reddish, light ultramarine, helio turquoise, hooker's green, juniper green, olive green yellowish, earth green yellowish, caput mortuum, burnt carmine, medium flesh, pompeian red, sanguine, burnt ochre, terracotta, light yellow ochre, dark naples ochre, walnut brown, dark sepia, payne's grey and black

Review: Artist quality pastel pencils - Faber-Castell, 24 Pitt Pastel Pencil set - arrived on time. I bought this smaller set to try these pastel pencils out. I'm not an expert and have barely used pastel pencils. These are nice pencils to use with very good pigmentation, but I'm finding them a bit drier than I like, which makes them a bit chalky/dusty. I have built up several layers of colour tones and am finding that a lot of the colour is easily blown away or brushed away when blending. I'm not using a pastel specific paper pad, so that could have something to do with it; though the pad I’m using is for multi-media, including pastels. Despite the pastels being drier than I had hoped, they aren’t so hard as to make holes in the paper. If I was using proper pastel paper, with more grip/texture, I think these pastels would be perfect. Building layers of colour with these pencils is very easy because of the high colour pigmentation and they blend beautifully. I also like that you can wet the colours and literally paint with them. In some areas, I've applied the colours to the paper first, then ‘painted’ over them with water. Another reviewer suggested that there are enough colours in this set to build up skin tones. I have to disagree. I have been using every colour in this set of 24 colours, but there is only one bright red and the purple is a bit too light for the picture I'm practicing on. There are two browns in the set - a dark and medium, an ochre and a pale pink. I don’t find there are enough earth/skin tones and would prefer a a few more mid-tone colours. - Consequently, I have ordered another set of 60 pastel pencils (different brand) as I can’t achieve the variety of colour and depth of shading I'm aiming for, which is why I'm posting a half finished piece. I've also resorted to using some soft pastel sticks for the background and clothes from another set and brand. I still think this set is worth buying and trying. These Faber-Castell Pitt pastel pencils are good student and professional artist quality. Edit: Second image using mixed brand combined pastel pencils
Review: Value for money - Great pencils, use them for most of my portraits,

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What colours are provided**
A: 101 White, 106 light chrome  yellow, 109 dark chrome  yellow,  118 scarlet  red, 151 helio blue reddish, 167 permanent  green olive, 168  earth green olive, 283 burnt Sienna, 199 black, 140  light ultramarine,  127 pink carmine.  Amazon  have the wrong description  of what colours  you get.

**Q: Does they have skin tones**
A: Hi, 
I only have the box of 24 pastel pencils and depending on what skin tone you are looking for, there are only two light skin colours but the bigger tin of 60 has many more. But they are pastels after all, so I would be using other colours blended together to achieve a true range of skin tone values and they do blend really well together. 
I hope this helps.

**Q: I want something that will smudge and blend well for backgounds to my adult colouring books. Will these fit the bill?**
A: These pastel pencils were on the recommended list from my art instructor (who specialises in pastel paintings) and are brilliant for finer details, once the background of your painting has been established.  They will blend, as they are softer than normal colouring pencils, however if you really want good smudging and blending for a background, I would thoroughly recommend Sennelier pastel crayons.  These are soft crayons which look a little like coloured pieces of chalk, but are soft, almost crumbly and come in the deepest and most subtle of colours.  They will blend and smudge extremely well.  I ordered these also through Amazon.  They are fairly expensive as they are good quality - the softer, the more expensive, I find - so I bought a box of 40 assorted half pastels, which gave a brilliant assortment of colours.  Hope this helps.  Good luck.

**Q: Are these better than the derwent pastel pencils or carbothello one?**
A: I haven’t used the Derwent or Carbothello pencils.  I’m no great artist but attended (before Lockdown) art classes where I live.  I bought on recommendation of our teacher.  I remember as an 11 year old persuading my Father to buy this make of colouring pencils (they cost 17s 
6d. Which my Father thought was very expensive in 1951).  The box contained 36 pencils and  I still had some small stubs when I left at 18 
to go to College.  So I do believe they are quality pencils and apparently good for smudging, hatching & cross hatching and for use with 
fixatives.  Hope this helps.

Great pencils, use them for most of my portraits,

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent quality pastel pencils
*by S***I on 15 April 2024*

As a beginner in pastel pencil drawing, I am very impressed with these. I struggled with charcoal and thought I might have the same problems with pastel pencils but was pleasantly surprised - they are not at all messy to use, and you can achieve fine detail with them. Faber Castell is an old established firm with an excellent reputation for quality and they certainly don't disappoint in this case. I bought the set of 24 which seems to be a good range of colours. They definitely need to be sharpened with a sharp knife and sandpaper to achieve a sharp point, which takes a bit of time, but a normal sharpener will break them so it's worth the effort. They will probably wear down fairly quickly but as far as I know they are available in open stock so can be replaced as necessary. Opinions vary over the use of fixative but I have found that Winsor and Newton's Professional Fixative works very well. I have not noticed any appreciable darkening or altering of the colours with this, after applying two coats. I have got very good results with these pastel pencils on Canson Mi-Teintes grey tones pastel paper. Very satisfied with this purchase and would highly recommend.
