STABILO Carbothello Pastel Pencil - Magenta Chalk Pastel Drawing Pencil

About This Product

Artists and creative folks, if you work with pastels but hate the mess, these STABILO Carbothello pastel pencils are an absolute game-changer! The magenta color is vibrant and highly pigmented, delivering rich color that blends beautifully. The 4.4mm diameter lead is substantial enough for coverage but still allows for detailed work. What's really special is how versatile these pencils are - you can use them dry for traditional pastel effects, then blend with your fingers or a blending stump for smooth gradients. They're also partially aquarellable, meaning you can use a wet brush to create watercolor-like effects while the outlines remain visible. The charcoal-like feel is satisfying to work with, and the pencils are much cleaner than traditional chalk pastels - no more colored dust everywhere! They work exceptionally well on toned or dark papers where the colors really pop against the background. The light-fastness is excellent, so your artwork won't fade over time, and you can use fixative to preserve your finished pieces. Whether you're a student, hobbyist, or professional artist, these pencils offer incredible control compared to messy pastel sticks. They're perfect for portraits, landscapes, still life, or any artwork where you want the vibrancy of pastels with the precision of pencils. The quality is exactly what you'd expect from STABILO - consistent, reliable, and professional-grade. If you've struggled with traditional pastels but love the effects, these pencils give you the best of both worlds with minimal mess and maximum creativity.
