Cretacolor is a leading dry media manufacturer based in Austria where all its products have been manufactured. Cretacolor offers a line of high quality pastels for all levels of artists. These unburnt pastels guarantee brilliant colors due to their high pigmentation and lightfastness. They produce a soft, oil-free stroke, and can be mixed together, smudged or dissolved with water.
