Stabilo CarbOthello Pastel Pencils

STABILO CarbOthello Pastel Pencils – Open Stock Singles

STABILO CarbOthello Pastel Pencils are premium artists' pastel pencils renowned for their exceptionally high pigment concentration, superb lightfastness, and outstanding colour brilliance. Designed for artists who love the rich, velvety appearance of traditional pastels but prefer the precision and cleanliness of a pencil, CarbOthello pencils are ideal for fine detail work, layering, blending, and expressive pastel techniques.

The soft pastel lead produces a dry, dusty stroke similar to charcoal or traditional pastel chalk, making these pencils perfect for portraits, wildlife art, landscapes, botanical studies, and detailed coloured pencil work. Colours can be blended dry, smudged, layered, or activated with water to create beautiful painterly effects and delicate colour transitions.

CarbOthello pencils perform exceptionally well on a wide range of surfaces, including pastel papers, toned papers, sanded papers, and other sensitive drawing surfaces. Their excellent covering power and colour intensity allow artwork to stand out brilliantly, even on dark backgrounds.

Available individually, STABILO CarbOthello Pastel Pencils allow artists to replace favourite colours as needed or build a custom palette from the complete range of 60 colours.
