Artecho Soft Pastel Set of 48, Including 4 Fluorescent colors Premium Square Chalk for Drawing, Blending, Layering, Shading, Art Supplies for Kids, Beginners, Students, Experienced Artists

Item looked good

A very well received gift for a beginner. Short sticks so many more colours than other sets

Very good for the price and only one was broken on delivery but not too bothered about that - in the art class I attend the artist breaks all of his pastels deliberately because he states it is then easier to use the flat sides! I prefer my polychromos pastel sticks as they are much harder and highly pigmented but I can mix both together if required. I tested these pastels on the attached photo and they seem to blend ok. I am still learning and practising.

Lovely set pretty colours just what I needed and the box they come in perfect

Packaged in a nice robust box, two layers of pastel sticks. Plenty of colour choices. There are four luminous sticks which look interesting although I haven't tried them yet.They are super soft and quite crumbly, you don't need to press hard at all. They blend extremely well with fingers or kitchen towel and the colours are very vivid. I did a quick picture with them of a tutorial I saw on Youtube to test them out. Looks rather nice I think. Seem like quality pastels.I would use them mostly for backgrounds, larger areas and blending as they are too soft for detailing - the corners blunted very quickly. Pair with pastel pencils for finer detail and you could get some stunning artwork. Cover your edges though as they do produce a fair amount of dust and will likely migrate to other bits of your paper you wanted to keep clear unless you cover it up.

These chalks are very small, more like samples so I was quite surprised. However they blend well and are easy enough to use.

I love these pastels, they're incredibly good value for money. The colours are highly pigmented and I find their quality to be on the same level as the overly overpriced ones. They blend really well and are so easy to use. Don't hesitate in buying them!

Nice colour range.Works well .
