Rolfes Skin Tone Pastels, Set of 12 Assorted Colours

Oil pastels offer the richness of oil colour combined with the convenience of drawing sticks. Their creamy consistency allows colours to glide smoothly across paper or canvas while producing bold, highly saturated marks.

These pastels are suitable for blending, layering and creating a variety of techniques including sgraffito, glazing and impasto textures. Oil pastels are widely used in art education, studio practice and mixed-media work.

Skin tone pastel sets are designed specifically for portrait and figure work. The carefully selected palette includes natural flesh tones that allow artists to render realistic skin shading and subtle tonal transitions.

These pastels are ideal for portraiture, life drawing and figurative artwork where accurate skin tones are essential.
