Soft Pastel

Introducing the new and improved Soft Pastel brushes – a result of diligent refinement and commitment to quality over the years. Now more realistic, higher resolution, and easier to use, these brushes offer an unprecedented pastel experience in the digital realm.

Our Soft Pastels now behave more like real pastels than ever before! You can press harder for dense pigment application or use a lighter touch for more delicate strokes, making your creations look and feel just like real pastel artwork. Our brushes now respond intuitively to the tilt and angle of your Apple Pencil, allowing you to blend and shape effortlessly, without even lifting your tool.

We’ve refined our collection to a carefully curated assortment of brushes, packed with features that allow you to add detail, shade, and texture to your artwork in real time. Say goodbye to the confusion of navigating through countless brushes. We’ve worked tirelessly to build natural behavior and versatility into these brushes, so you can focus less on the tools and more on your art!

Our enhanced Soft Pastels now include the following 21 premium brushes:

Pastel Detail: This versatile brush can be adjusted for tiny details or broad shading, perfect for adding fine lines, dots, or hairs. Its high resolution makes it a great shader alternative.

Pastel Shader: This pressure-sensitive brush can produce everything from fine speckles of shading to heavy opaque marks. Tilt your Apple Pencil to the side for a light shading effect, similar to shading with the side of a real pastel.

Chunky Shaper: Mimic the effect of a rolling pastel with this favorite. It creates block pastel marks and provides a softer look and lower opacity at lighter pressures, perfect for soft blending.

Dry Brush Blender: This handy brush is great for blending tones and adding wisps of clean, hair-like strokes. It’s a digital equivalent of a traditional dry brush in soft pastel art.

Gritty Shader: Add a fine soft pastel texture over large areas with this wider brush. Its pressure sensitivity allows you to control the density of shading, making it ideal for adding texture and visual interest to large flat areas, and for blending multiple tones together.

Real Sampled Soft Pastel Marks: Now at a higher resolution, these 16 brushes are made with the highest quality Sennelier soft pastels. Use them to build your piece in layers and develop a rich, realistic texture, or add them at the end as accents to bring your artwork to life.
