See more Review: Liked a lot - As a keen amateur, I had tried oil and soft pastels in the past but found both mediums-compared to my usual oil and watercolours, uninspiring. I wanted a medium that was portable and easy to work with so after recently watching oodles of YouTube tutorials, I was inspired to give soft pastels another try. From the recommended soft pastel brands suggested in the tutorials, these Rembrandt soft pastels fitted into my budget. The box of 1/2 sized pastels arrived well packed. The set has a good range of colours for begginers, while the pastels are not overly soft/crumbly, instead they do blend beautifully-depending on the the pastel paper you are using. I was surprised to find that the ultimate outcome depended not only on the quality of pastels but also the paper you choose. As good quality art media is expensive, and even as beginners we aim for the best results, the types and ranges of pastels are as varied as pastel pads and blocks therefore, I would highly recommend researching the fit between pastels and papers before purchasing. I found these soft pastels work beautifully with Clairefontaine's Pastelmat pastel pad but not as well with the Fabriano Tiziano pastel pad. Review: Lovely - These are a dream to use. I like to use them to lay down a base layer and do under painting before coming in with Pitt pastels for details. You get a lot of colors and the way I use them they will last a long time. ## Features - Luxury soft pastel set with a selection of 30 half pastels in our most popular colours - This set comes in a beautiful, sturdy cardboard box with inlay to keep the pastels protected and organised.
