Understanding Our Label

Our aim is to produce the finest permanent artists’ colours. Ongoing research and development may mean that specifications may change colour without prior notice. |
Your Questions Answered
Q. Some Art Spectrum Pastels are very soft, yet others are firmer. Why is this?
A. This occurs because of the different nature and composition of the various pigments used in our pastels. As we strive for maximum pigment intensity, the handling characteristics of the pigment are reflected in the pastel. The addition of extenders, softeners etc. would produce a more uniform degree of softness, but at the expense of colour purity and brilliance.
Q. The clear labels on your pastels look great, but seem difficult to remove as the stick gets used. What can I do?
A. Please refer to the ‘exploded’ label diagram on this page. The perforations shown are not visible to the naked eye, however they are relatively easy to locate by gently peeling back the top edge of the label. Each section, approximately 1cm wide, then peels off quite easily.
Q. Why does Art Spectrum only have one or two tints of some colours, yet up to six of others? A. This is a result of our company philosophy of putting art first, ahead of commercial considerations. We endeavour to make all of our colours useful for the artist - if the particular tone or tint of a certain colour is not considered useful, or different from an existing colour, we simply don’t make it. Q. Why two sizes of all Art Spectrum pastels? A. Our giant studio pastels (jumbo) offer a significant cost saving for volume users. They also offer incredible versatility to the user - you can do everything and more than you can with the ‘standard’ size stick. Art Spectrum ‘jumbos’ are also an ideal choice for pavement artists. |
