Handmade soft pastels that is second to none. In their subtlety and intensity of colour, their fluency and responsiveness to touch and in their delicacy and robustness, unison colour soft pastels aspire to perfection. Unison began in the early 1980s,When artist john heresy found that mass produced; factory made pastels simply did not offer the qualities he was looking for. He began an inquiry, to see whether, with the pigments available, he could construct some kind of mirror to the magic of colour. Unison colour soft pastels are the result.

• Purity of colour
• Incredible water solubility
• Large 1-1/2-inch by 2-inch sticks

Unison Pastels are made in Northumberland and contain only pure pigments. Unison groups the colours together in sets of related hues, instead of adding white or black pigment to the colours. The result is intense and vibrant shades, not muddied by the blending of colours.

Unison's pastels contain very little binder, making them truly soft and smooth. They are mixed to meticulous recipes and are based on traditional pigments such as cadmiums, cobalts and natural and synthetic earths.
