Forty professionally curated pastel pencil colors covering a wide visual continuum — from vivid primary values and soft portrait variations through to deep atmospheric shadow tones and rich neutral greys. The Caran d'Ache Pastel 40-set is built for serious dry-media artists, portrait illustrators, and design professionals who need the tonal depth and range to handle large-format studio drawings without constantly mixing from a limited palette.

The 4.7mm soft pastel core delivers exceptional coverage with a velvety, non-scratchy texture that responds cleanly to heavy layering, fine cross-hatching, and sgraffito scraping techniques. Round FSC-certified cedar barrels throughout. Housed in a cardboard box with interior cushioning to prevent pencil movement and tip breakage during studio use and transport.

Individual colors are also available as single pencils if you want to fill in specific shades.

FAQ
  • What color range does the 40-set cover? A wide range including portrait skin tones, atmospheric shadow tones, and neutral values — giving tonal depth for figurative work and complex large-format compositions without relying on extensive blending.
  • What is sgraffito and does this set support it? Sgraffito is a technique where a top layer of pigment is scratched or scraped away to reveal the color underneath. The high-density pastel core holds well in layered applications, making it well suited for this technique.
  • Is the 40-set suitable for portrait work? Yes. The expanded range includes a thorough selection of skin tones, warm flesh values, and transitional neutrals that support realistic portrait and figurative rendering.
  • Does the box adequately protect the fragile pastel cores? Yes. The interior cushioning keeps each pencil stable and prevents the cores from shattering due to impact or movement — a particular concern with the larger, softer 4.7mm pastel cores.
