Capture Rustic Red Earth Tones With Venetian Red
SoHo Urban Artist Handmade Soft Pastel Block in Venetian Red 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 earthy red accents and smooth color transitions. The rich reddish-brown tone of Venetian Red is especially useful for creating rustic architectural scenes, sunlit landscapes, and naturally shaded portrait studies. Its distinctive earthy character also works well for capturing terracotta rooftops, weathered brick, and clay surfaces while adding warmth to autumn scenery and still life compositions. Venetian Red blends beautifully with burnt sienna, golden ochres, and deep browns for natural transitions between warm highlights and earthy 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.
