Stabilo CarbOthello Pastels for fine detail
Stabilo CarbOthellos were originally called 'Coloured charcoal' and are a little softer than other pastel pencil brands (with the exception of the Caran Dache range), they blend really well and the colours are rich and highly pigmented offering a great choice of lights and darks. They evenly distribute the colour when used and are easy to blend with products such as sponges or the silicon and paper blenders. The collection has some colours that other pastel pencil sets do not have and they are ideal to have along side other ranges. Being aquarellable, they mix well with water but the colours are not as vibrant when they are wet. Diluting the pigment will also dilute the lightfastness of them too, the more you dilute the weaker the lightfastness will become. These pencils can be sharpened with a stabilo pencil sharpener, or with a craft knife allowing you to shape the tip to the length and point needed for those small areas as can be seen in the artwork below which was created by pastel artist John Graham.
