Application and Usage Guidelines

- Blending and Softening: The soft kaolin base allows for seamless blending with a finger or blending stump, making it ideal for rendering soft clouds and atmospheric perspective.
- Substrate Selection: For maximum pigment grip, use specialized pastel papers with a significant tooth or sanded pastel boards that can accommodate multiple layers of dry media.
- Tool Maintenance: Periodically clean the surface of the pastel sticks with a dry cloth or paper towel to maintain the purity of the color and prevent cross-contamination between hues.
