Create Moody Skies And Cool Atmospheric Depth With Steel Blue
SoHo Urban Artist Handmade Soft Pastel Block in Steel Blue 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 muted blue accents and smooth color transitions. The cool gray-blue tone of Steel Blue is especially useful for creating overcast skies, misty mountain landscapes, and atmospheric coastal scenes. Its subdued color also works well for capturing distant horizons, adding cool shadows to architectural drawings, and creating realistic reflections in water. Steel Blue blends beautifully with soft grays, lighter blues, and deeper navy tones for natural transitions between illuminated areas and shaded scenery. 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.
