Faber-Castel FC128272 Creative Studio Soft Pastel Crayons (72 Pack), Assorted

Is a dream for artists who love bold, vibrant colors. With 72 richly pigmented shades, this assortment offers endless possibilities for blending, layering, and creating stunning works of art.The pastels are soft and smooth, gliding effortlessly across the surface for easy application and beautiful transitions. Their texture allows for both detailed work and expressive strokes, making them ideal for beginners and experienced artists alike.The compact box keeps everything organized and protects the pastels during storage. However, as with any soft pastel, they can be a bit messy, so it’s best to use them in a dedicated art space.

When this asks 'good for beginners', I'm not certain if that is the right question. I've been drawing awhile and have used soft pastels. The beginning pack I got previously was cheap and had good colors, but it gave off an odor which bothered my family. This pack seems like very good quality and no odor. That counts for something. The pigments seem rich. I'm having no trouble blending them together. I am laying down background colors with these, following with pastel pencils by Farber-Castel, then putting in the most detail with Prismacolor pencils. This seems to work well for me.

This is the first set of pastels that I have used, so I do not have any others to compare with. I love all my other Faber Castell art supplies so I decided to try these. I am still learning how to use them but I love them. Very blendable, good strong colors. Nice selection of colors in the box. I will say, they are Very messy, but I guess that is the same for all brands. Just keep a towel or paper handy to wipe off your hands. I am not an artist, but I use them for coloring art pages. I use them in conjunction with my markers and colored pencils. I wish they had a wrap around them like a few other brands do.

This is a very nice starter set of affordable, pro-quality pastels. They are listed as soft pastels but are more on the semi-soft side. Softer than Nu-Pastels but more firm than Mount Vision or Unison. The are great for blocking in colors, they blend smoothly and you can quite effectively use the edges of broken pieces for fine lines/details. I am very pleased with the quality and handling of these pastels and the range of colors provided in this set make will make a worthy contribution to your pastel collection.

Good product, thank you!

They blend well and have a good color assortment. Not as soft as some dry pastels, but still have good coverage.

Muy buenas

So much value in such a little box. All the colors are vibrant, and these pastels don’t break as easily.
