Unison Artist's Soft Half Pastel Starter Set

The Unison Colour Artist's Half Pastel Set is available in a range of 16, 30 and 63 half pastels. Based in the Northumberland National Park, Unison Colour began in the early 1980s, when artist John Hersey found that mass produced, factory made pastels simply did not offer the qualities he was looking for.

The pastels are still completely hand made and retain all the qualities of the originals; they are based on traditional pigments such as cadmiums, cobalts and natural and synthetic earths; mixed to John's meticulous recipes. The Unison Half Pastel Set comprises a carefully considered selection of colours from across the traditional Unison range. The newly available Unison half pastel is an excellent introduction to those using Unison pastels for the first time.
