Pigment sticks are a pastel art medium created strictly from natural earth pigments. Formulated using a water-soluble binder, they are almost entirely pure pigment. Their hardness is most similar to a medium pastel and can be used dry or wet for an eco-friendly alternative to watercolor pans.

Every color in the assortment retains each pigment’s distinctive characteristics resulting in slight texture variance—they are incredibly complex and unique.
