## 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 60 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 Includes the colours white, ivory, cream, light yellow glaze, light chrome yellow, dark chrome yellow, orange glaze, scarlet red, dark red, alizarzin crimson, pink carmine, rose carmine, red-violet, manganese violet, violet, dark indigo, helioblue-reddish, cobalt blue, light ultramarine, bluish turquoise, helio turquoise, cobalt turquoise, cobalt green, hooker's green, permanent green olive, pine green, juniper green, olive green yellowish, may green, earth green yellowish, chromium green opaque, earth green, caput mortuum, indian red, burnt carmine, medium flesh, light flesh, cinnamon, pompeian red, venetian red, sanguine, burnt ochre, terracotta, light yellow ochre, naples yellow, dark naples ochre, brown ochre, raw umber, bistre, van dyck brown, burnt umber, burnt siena, walnut brown, dark sepia, warm grey IV, warm grey I, cold grey I, cold grey IV, payne's grey and black

Review: Excellent quality at a competitive price - Excellent pastel pencils. Good price, work best on textured paper/card (=Pastelmat). Blends easily with either a blending stub, a finger, or a cotton bud. With pastelmat I find I can put up to five layers before the pastel mat is too loaded to take another layer (I am heavy handed when drawing). It does cover well and you get a good depth to the drawing as you add more layers. The 60 Pitt pastel pencil tin gives a good choice of colours and the tin holds the pencils in two layers that easily lift out for easy access when drawing. Like all pastel pencils they quickly blunt a pencil sharpener. They are a bit firmer than a Derwent pastel pencil so in a sharpener you are often able to a good point, but I find the pencils last much longer if you use a sharp pocket knife to remove the wood and then either use the pencil as is, or use sand paper to get a point on the pastel core for detailed work. For pet whiskers they work best with the pastel rubbed on paper/sand paper to give a flat headed screwdriver shape at the tip - this shape gives a longer lasting edge to last the full whisker. A sharp point tends to snap, or give a fatter line the further the drawn line lasts (giving a thin to fat whisker). The pigment is very vibrant and photographs extremely well (colours 'pop' out from the page). On an almost finished drawing I do sometimes use Caran D'Ache (=expensive) pastel pencils to add the the last fine details (these hold a point better for finer lines). Caran D'Ache work well over the top of multiple layers of Pitt Pencils. Also, Pitt pencils blend well with Derwent pastel pencils if you want to mix the different colours available from different manufacturers.
Review: Lovely - I'm obsessed with these. They're so nice to draw with. I haven't used other types of pencil pastels in the past. These are the only ones I've used but I have no reason to reach for anything else because they work exactly how I hope they would. The only thing I added to the collection was a set of stick pastels that I can use to lay down background colors in wide swaths so I can save these to use over top.

## 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.
