STABILO CarbOthello Chalk Pastel Pencils combine highly pigmented pastel colour with the control of a pencil. Available in 60 individual shades, they are ideal for drawing, blending, shading and creating soft pastel effects with greater precision.
STABILO CarbOthello pastel pencils combine the expressive qualities of traditional chalk pastels with the precision and convenience of a wooden pencil. Their highly pigmented leads produce rich colour with a dry, slightly dusty texture similar to charcoal, making them particularly well suited to drawing, portraiture, landscapes and detailed pastel artwork.
The colours can be layered, blended and smudged using your fingers or a blending stump, allowing you to create soft transitions, subtle shading and more expressive effects.
The CarbOthello range contains 60 individual colours, making it easy to build your own pastel pencil collection or replace frequently used shades from an existing set.
Key features include:
60 individual pastel colours
Highly pigmented chalk-pastel leads
4.4mm lead diameter
Dry, charcoal-like colour application
Suitable for blending and smudging
Excellent lightfastness
Effective on dark backgrounds and specialist papers
Partially aquarellable for additional creative effects
STABILO CarbOthello pencils can be blended dry to create smooth colour transitions and soft pastel effects. They are also partially aquarellable, allowing the pigments to be worked with a brush and water while visible contours remain.
The pencils can produce particularly striking results on dark-coloured surfaces and specialist pastel papers, where the highly pigmented shades stand out clearly.
For finished work, the use of a suitable pastel fixative can help protect the surface and reduce smudging.
