Overview
Not a stick set, these Faber-Castell Pitt pastel pencils put dry pastel pigment in a pencil body for fine detail. The formula is free of wax and oil and can be smudged to build smooth transitions. Twelve assorted colors come together in one metal tin.
Pencil format gives control for small areas and edges that sticks cannot reach, and a tin holds the set together for travel or storage. Twelve colors is a limited range for broad work, and no sharpener is mentioned.
Who it's for
Drawing and sketching hobbyists who add pastel detail to larger work will find the pencils precise. Painters who want to cover large areas quickly, or want dozens of shades, should pick a bigger stick set.
Pros and cons
- Pencil form for fine detail
- Wax-free, oil-free pigment
- Smudges for soft transitions
- Only a small color range
- Sharpener not listed
- Tin dimensions unclear in the listing
- Short warranty period
Performance notes
A pencil body concentrates pigment into a narrow line, so edges and small features stay crisp. Because the formula has no wax or oil, strokes smudge easily into fine color transitions. Medium hardness of lead affects how much pigment lays down per pass.
