Loved by many, there are so many features to this pastel pencil so lets get right into it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Blending<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The CarbOthello can be dry-blended or smudged by finger or by blending stump, it is also partially aquarellable (meaning water-soluble) so if you add a touch of water to your pastel it will create a smooth blend effect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Lightfastness<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Have you ever wondered what the star rating is on the barrell of a CarbOthello pastel? Well it&#8217;s actually a lightfast rating and differs between shades. Lightfastness basically means how resistant to fading from natural light that particular shade is. The ratings go from 0* which is poor right up to 5* which is the best and most resistant, with a high percentage of CarbOthello pastel pencils being 5*.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Options<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The CarbOthello is available in sets of 12, 24, 36, 48 and the largest 60 (the 48 and 60 sets come with there own pencil sharpener and eraser), with a choice of metal container or a very special wooden case of 60 which is the perfect choice for a gift and a great way to show them off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In case we left anything out here&#8217;s a quick rundown and recap:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>A Charcoal-like feel<\/li><li>Available in 60, yes 60 shades in various ranges<\/li><li>Highly Pigmented Colours<\/li><li>4.4mm diameter lead<\/li><li>Can be used both dry and wet<\/li><li>Can be blended and smudged<\/li><li>Has a lightfastness rating on the barrel of each pastel pencil<\/li><li>Great results on dark backgrounds\/specialist paper<\/li><li>White pencil can be used to create highlights<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The CarbOthello is not just a pastel pencil, it&#8217;s a work of art in itself and if you want to see some of the incredible work talented artists have achieved using it then we recomend visiting <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/stabilouk\/\">Stabilo&#8217;s Instagram <\/a>page.
