Girault pastels are an exceptionally soft pastel with a slightly firmer
consistency than other brands. They are soft yet very smooth and dense.
Girault pastels are great for detail work but versatile enough to
effectively cover large areas. They can be used early in the painting or
throughout as they layer very well, and will not crumble. The Girault Pastel factory began making pastels in 1780. The skills
acquired by the early pastel makers have been handed down, generation to
generation. This companies dedication to consistency and quality means
that today's artists can benefit from Girault's reputation earned over
the last 200 years. You will not be disappointed with these soft
pastels. Seasoned pastelists may recall these pastels under their former
name Quentin de la Tour. We carried them years ago, when they were
packaged with a clear plastic sleeve and imported into the US by Winsor
& Newton. Many pastelists were saddened by their 5 year
disappearance. We are happy to report they are back and here to stay.
