Review: Not Chalky, Smooth, Nice Color - I have been participating in vote-based art contests on Facebook. I noticed that they tended to cycle through art media when I went and looked back. The first one I participated in was any medium (I used colored pencil), the next one was ink (I had some Pigma Micron pens around, luckily). The other two things they have used in contests so far were pastel and watercolor. This put me in a quandary. I asked a few other art friends if they had used some of the less expensive pastels, and no one I asked had, and one person suggested these. A few days later, desertcart notified me of a flash deal where they were a very good price. I would have liked to have a larger set to start off with (24 is better than 12 though), but am hoping I have enough to be able to create something for the next contest. Experiments with Conte crayon and Prussian blue allowed me to do a pretty good eye study. I haven't used pastels in more than 30 years, and the ones I had were chalk pastels, student grade bought for a kid in one of those Christmas artists sets. Touching pastel like that makes me cringe - the chalky sensation of it. These pastels are NOT quite like PrismaColor Premier ArtSticks - if anything, these are a little creamier. There is a little bit of dust that comes off when you stroke them across the paper, but not crumbly, etc. I was surprised to see instructions saying to use them with water. I can't wait to play with these a little more, and even maybe venture more into mixed media (I started out planning to learn colored pencil painting very well; the thing I used most when I used to create visual art was heavy-body acrylic paint with modifiers, etc.).
Review: Perfect for pastel newbies! - For the price, Prismacolor is the best quality you can get. If you're just beginning and never used pastels before, start with this brand or get a set that is comparable, such as Faber-Castell. Avoid craft store brand pastels that are tempting because they are cheaper (such as Artist Loft) as the quality is sub-par and you'll get frustrated by how they perform. I work with Prismacolor and Faber-Castell together, as both have their advantages. NuPastels are thinner, easier to break, and have a sharper edge which is convenient for thin lines or tight spaces in your artwork. I don't find them useful for covering large amounts of the paper, though, so I use my Faber-Castells to fill in my backgrounds and then use the NuPastels for foreground work and details. Pigment is rich and there is a nice variety of colors. You can start out with a smaller set, too, and get plenty of use out of the color range. This brand is worth your money and time!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Versatile value, high-quality.
*by G***R on April 22, 2015*

There are many fine pastels, but these are my absolute favorite for quality versatility and value. You can wet them with water for painterly effects and washes. They dissolve with turpentine for shading standard oil paints and special effects. This is a great starting set with all the warms and cools of the primaries plus brilliant thalo blues and greens. The earth tones mix with other colors nicely and the white will actually create opaque tints when mixed with others colors. These are the best value too. Please don't get me wrong, I still love my handmade handmade French, Japanese and Italian pastels. Some things just require that buttery softness. But for basic layout and sketching the superb lasting quality, these are hands-down tops in my forty years experience. My only complaint is these are addictive. They make you want to play!
