Highly blendable when dry, smudge with either the fingertips or a blending stump to create a variety of artistic effects. Dramatic results can be achieved when used on dark backgrounds and delicate papers, too. Areas or outlines can be lightened or highlighted. Partially aquarellable, the pigments can also be worked brush and water; the contours will remain visible. These premium chalk-pastels have high pigmentation with excellent light-fastness – and for superior results the finished artwork can be treated with a fixative.

Have already purchased additional pencils (I use a lot of a few colors) and these are great. Sharpen well, colors are true, easy to manipulate and use in combination with my soft pastels. Will definitely purchase again

Really happy with pencils. They are quite firm but not as firm like the Faber Castell Pitt Pastel pencils with a great range of colours. I was quite disappointed when opening that there was black plastic all through the container and the top tray was broken. I don't want to return it because I live in New Zealand and have waited so eagerly for these pencils. If the tray wasn't damaged I would have given 5 stars. I found one of the pencils is also chipped but can sharpen it.

Ces crayons sont de grandes qualité. Néanmoins un des crayons a eu la mine endommagée et malgré le taillage celle ci reste friable.Pour le reste les couleurs sont magnifiques

Just the right softness, they don’t break when sharpened. Beautiful colors. My only complaint is that the bottom layer of pencils is so tightly packed it’s hard to get one out. Maybe referring tom, otherwise very happy.

First time using soft pastels and these are so worth it! Really good for the price.Didn’t use the “right” paper for it but still turned out pretty good. Would probably recommend to use a pastel mat for more smooth layering. Disclaimer: Used in combination with soft pastel chalk as a base layer! - 2nd pic

I had these in my cart for MONTHS! I was waiting for them to go on sale and as soon as they did I got them. These are high quality and I use them for the detail work on my chalkboard murals. They lay down smooth and the pigment is super bright! They also layer well which is a big plus for me. Very high quality. These are a wonderful addition to my art supply collection!

Gorgeous colors, perhaps slightly harder than other pastel pencils, but did a great job on the couple of small drawings I have done. The softness is perfect for my working style. Also, they layer beautifully over soft pastels. Very happy with this product!

This stabile set is a treasure in my collection. For blending and shadows for my watercolour or mixed media pieces. It comes with a blending stump and the colours are Lucious and vibrant and blend beautifully. 60 colours is more than I will ever need, but I appreciate so very much. Now I only need to replace individual colours as needed. Yes I highly recommend!

I bought the Stabilo set on the recommendation of the teacher of a pastel drawing class which I took recently at the local arts center, and I have been very pleased with my purchase. The pencils allow the artist to supply details to his/her pastel painting by using the soft pastel pencils instead of the less manageable pastel chalks. When uing the pencils in connection with the chalks, the pigmenrts are easily blendable so that chalks and pencils can be used together ona single painting. The pencils come packaged in 2 plastic trays in which each individual pencil has its own slot, so the pencils are less likely to be damaged in moving. The 2 trays come in a "tin" metal case which opens like a clamshell allowing 1 tray to pe placed in each half so that all of the pencils are readily available for use. New users who are not familiar with "soft" pastels may be surprised by how quickly the pigment is used which necessitates the frequent sharpening of the pencils; however, this usage is characteristic of soft patel pigments whether chalks or pencils. I have used my pencils extensively, and have no complaints about the product. It would be a super gift for any artist who uses or would like to learn how to use soft pastels. The carrying case is not only practical but is visually attractive as well. In my oinion, Stabilo has earned its 5 stars on this one.

Let me start by saying I'm no artist, I only color as a hobby in coloring books. So take my perspective for what it is - that of a hobbyist who loves trying out new techniques and learning about art. I watched a whole bunch of reviews comparing different pastel pencil brands. Most reviewers agreed that Stabilo made some of the best pastel pencils and when the price dropped to an unbelievable $46, I jumped on it.As you can see, I've already colored many pages with these pencils and love them to bits. I'm able to complete pages within a few hours in one sitting, as opposed to many hours spread over a week or so I take with colored pencils. These pencils blend, smudge and smear so well it's no joke! The colors are rich, vibrant and become even more brilliant when you set it with water. I don't like using fixative but these pencils don't produce much dust (way less than pastel sticks!) so I don't need to thankfully.For the price, they're hands down the best pastel pencils you can buy. I don't know how soft or hard these are compared to other brands but I do know they blend very easily even on smooth coloring book paper. I imagine they'll work even better on textured pastel mat. 60 colors are more than enough for any project you might have since you can mix whatever shade you want on a palette or scrap paper or even blend it directly on the page. Well worth it, whether you're an artist or colorist like I am.

Excellent, pretty good price at $60, also like Derwents and found excellent paper, read the review!!! If things change I will update this review. I have not tried Prismacolor but that is because I feel they are overpriced, and I have read that these are just as good and lightfast, true to colour as any $700 set. So, we will see. Also trying thte stick, but bought a small sampler set to see if I even like to draw that way. I am into watercolour and pencils of graphite, colour, carbon, pastel and watercolour pencils. Have a small charcoal set, but such a mess, I get the darks from carbon but hard to find and they are really expensive unless on sale.Also try this paper, you do not need to buy expensive sanded art paper, GO TO HOME CDEPOT!!!! Spend pennies on the dollar and this pack will give you a good range for the finest grit, I paid a rediculous amount for one sheet of 800 grit sand paper at an art store. I am sure you can get larger sheets.Also for $7 cannot beat this sample set bu very small, like 1" sticks and thin. Have not worked with pastel stick long enough to talk about quality, but a great small set to try out and see if you like the looseness of that type of art
