Seccorell offer a unique drawing technique that forms a bridge between the watercolour and pastel techniques and requires neither water nor fixative.
Developed by watching children in Waldorf schools use their pencil shavings for shading, these unique pastel smudge sticks are used by grating the stick on the rubbing block and then smudging with your fingers. The effect is both delicate and intense, and can be used on a variety of surfaces including paper, wood and even eggs at Easter time.

Smudge pastels were a new technique for myself and my 5 1/2 year old daughter, but we quickly got the hang of them! It is a slower process than pencils, but we found it very relaxing and enjoyed blending and layering the colours. Will definitely be using them frequently.
