Pastel & Charcoal Accessories

Colour Shapers are a unique tipped tool used for pastel blending as well as removing paint or applying masking fluid.
The ivory tip is softer and more  suited to blending pencil, pastel & charcoal while the grey tip 
is firmer and is for heavier body paints, glue, batik wax.  

We also have blending stumps and sand paper blocks.

Sennelier L'esprit du Pastel 24cm x 32cm
 The Sennelier L’Esprit du Pastel Pad is one of those "quietly excellent” tools that makes those media feel right under your fingers. It’s simple, portable, and designed to let you focus on drawing rather than fussing over paper limitations.
 The 130 gsm, grained / felt-textured paper — not heavy board, but with enough tooth to grip pastel, charcoal, chalk or pencil nicely.  
It has a neutral grey surface — a mid-tone ground that gives instant contrast whether you’re using light or dark pastels/charcoal — often nice for sketching values without laying down a base tone first.  

Pages are interleaved with glassine to stop smudging or transferring.
