HistoryFrustrated with the lack of color options available and few choices for very soft pastels, Terry Ludwig began experimenting with formulas for making his own pastels in 1995. His goal: create a vast array of color in pastels that were uniformly soft across all densities of hue. His result: over 600 intense colors, some of which are unavailable elsewhere, in a unique square pastel. Crafting each pastel with a broad range of pigments by hand with minimal natural binders renders highly concentrated, velvety pastels. The square shape delivers thick, broad strokes and thin, precise lines where necessary. Terry Ludwig Pastels are approximately 1 1/2
