Review: These pastels are durable and perfect for the paper I use with lots of texture. Unlike the student-grade brands, the vibrant colors blend and layer smoothly, providing a mess-free experience. The half-stick packaging makes them easy to grip and apply to the paper, and their slightly harder edge allows for detailed work that softer pastels may struggle with. They work as you would expect for an incredible price. The Rembrandt soft pastels come in a sturdy, elegant box that keeps them safe for a long time! I highly recommend them for beginners and practicing artists. The Rembrandt Pastels are a pastel artist's dream. They are soft, blend extremely well, and have a great color selection (up to 90 colors!). If your budget allows, get them; you will not regret it!
Review: The quality is justified to the price. Worth to buy for learners and practiced artists

*by D***M on 12 March 2017*

I'll begin by saying that I'm very pleased with these pastels. They work exactly as I expected and when I finish these off I'll most likely buy another set, possibly with more colours. The packaging for shipping and storage seems more than adequate for me. None of the pastels were broken and the box seems suitable enough for storage in the long term. Physically the pastels are half sticks meaning, though you could break them in half, I chose not to. The range of colours is nice and I think will be enough to cover many needs. Remember that though they blend extremely well all blending is done on paper so getting consistent colours beyond those in the set is more difficult the smaller the set is. In use the texture is fairly consistent with great coverage for all colours (something cheaper sets don't have). They go on readily but are not so soft they crumble in your hand. They blend very nicely on paper with a tortillon or fingers and aren't so soft they fill the tooth immediately. I've tried them on two watercolour papers, pastel paper and some multi media paper all of which worked fine. They covered pencil and charcoal without issue (though charcoal can blend into them). Overall these do what you expect from a pastel of this type and work nicely. I think they represent good value for the quality and range of colours provided. I'll probably buy them again and might consider one of the bigger sets.
