Made using the same ingredients as Koh-I-Noor Toison d’Or 8580 chalks, Gioconda Soft Pastel Pencils have a soft creamy feel when applied and do not produce dust like ordinary pastels. Thanks to large lead diameter this product is capable of achieving a wide range of marks. The California cedar wood casings sharpen crisply and provide a comfortable grip. All Gioconda colours have an excellent light permanency and durability.
These pencils are made of a volcanic glass mineral base called pemza. Clear micro-granulated natural materials like kaolin, carbonate of calcium and binders are also added.
