GIRAULT THE TRADITIONAL PASTEL
Girault Pastels was founded in the 18th century as a cottage industry; and since 1780, Girault craftsmen  have been handing down their skills in the manufacture of a single product: Pastels.   (click on Girault Legacy  for more info.)  

Because of this long lasting experience, Girault can offer in the 21st century a traditional pastel with  all the qualities required for your artistic needs.


Girault was also known as "Quentin de la Tour" in the U.S.A, and back under their original name "Girault Pastels"  -but (without the sleeves).   


 
GIRAULT HOW
GIRAULT PASTELS
GIRAULT (since 1780)
  • Girault Pastels are made of natural pigments that are traditionally used in fine arts.
  • Colors are created through the blending of pure pigments; pastels are made by mixing these pigments with white.
  • Special attention is paid to keep the hardness of the sticks the same throughout the whole series.
  • First, the pigments and the white are ground; then water is added and the paste is mechanically wrung and molded into the required shape before being manually cut at the needed length.
The sticks are numbered and stamped and then left to dry.
  • Girault Pastels contain NO heavy metal.

GIRAULT THE TWO PASTELS IN ONE!
Girault Pastels are so versatile
They can be used early in the painting like a hard pastel
and throughout the painting like a softer pastel
Dense but smooth, creamy without being overly soft

Girault Pastels have:
  • A proper adhesion to the support
  • Pure, permanent hues that cover well
  • The possibility of drawing fine lines
  • Dense without being hard, yet smooth and crumble-resistant

 It is uncommon to find so many qualities in a single product
