These pencils may be a better solution than wax, oil or water soluble pencils. The pastels are so much easier to blend and I prefer the natural matte finish. These pastel pencils are firmer than the Derwents, which I also like. I use various sizes of blending stumps and precision tip cotton swabs to achieve the effects I want. Pastels tend to be messier because of residue but if I make mistakes, the medium erases easily. I use the the Faber-Castell pencil eraser with brush to clean up my work. 60 colors doesn’t seem like a lot compared to 72 or 120 offered by other types, but with the ease of blending, the possibilities become endless. I sharpened some of my pastel pencils in an electric sharpener and there were no broken points. Overall, I am extremely pleased with the quality and vividness of color.

I took the plunge and bought these pastel pencils. I was not disappointed, they are gorgeous. I don’t think I have the skills to use them to their full potential yet but am certainly enjoying using them.

They are on the hard side of soft pastels and are great for fine detail and are easy to sharpen!
Color isn’t as saturated as some others but they serve their purpose well!
