SKU:GIR50HARMONY2
Girault pastels are an exceptionally soft pastel with a slightly firmer consistency than other brands. They are soft yet very smooth and dense. Girault pastels are great for detail work but versatile enough to effectively cover large areas. They can be used early in the painting or throughout as they layer very well, and will not crumble. The Girault Pastel factory began making pastels in 1780. The skills acquired by the early pastel makers have been handed down, generation to generation. This companies dedication to consistency and quality means that today's artists can benefit from Girault's reputation earned over the last 200 years. You will not be disappointed with these soft pastels. Seasoned pastelists may recall these pastels under their former name Quentin de la Tour. We carried them years ago, when they were packaged with a clear plastic sleeve and imported into the US by Winsor & Newton. Many pastelists were saddened by their 5 year disappearance. We are happy to report they are back and here to stay.
