La Maison du Pastel has launched new line of “Petits Roché”, a reduced-selection of half-stick pastels. They are available to date in 3-piece and 12-piece sets, and a further 36-piece set should be available in the spring of 2012. The 3-piece sets come as “Discovery”, “Portrait” or “Landscape” sets, and if you are like me and would like to try these famous pastels this might be a good deal. If you would like to order go to their website and check under Contact how and where you can order.
