Capture Rustic Warmth And Rich Earthy Reds With Red Ochre
SoHo Urban Artist Handmade Soft Pastel Block in Red Ochre delivers rich fully pigmented color with an exceptionally soft velvety feel. Its wide block shape makes it easy to cover more surface than a traditional slim pastel, whether you are toning paper, building broad areas of color, or creating expressive painterly marks. The fine smooth consistency allows dense color to go down with very little pressure.
Handcrafted for artists who enjoy layering and blending, this soft pastel works beautifully for everything from broad strokes to warm reddish-brown accents and smooth color transitions. The rich earthy tone of Red Ochre is especially useful for creating desert landscapes, rustic architecture, and naturally shaded portrait studies. Its subdued red character also works well for capturing terracotta pottery, weathered brick, and sunbaked clay while adding warmth and depth to autumn scenery. Red Ochre blends beautifully with siennas, umbers, and golden ochres for natural transitions between earthy highlights and shadows. Each block is individually handmade, so slight variations in size and shape are part of its unique character. The pastel measures approximately 0.56" x 1.3" x 1.53" and comes in a protective foam-padded box for convenient storage and easy access.
