Rembrandt Soft Pastel Micro Set, 10-Piece Half Sticks, Southwest Desert Palette Selection

Bought the Rose Violets 5 Half Sticks in Micro Set though 3 out of the 5 are broken. Please understand that this is fragile precious cargo for artists and do a better job at packaging.

I liked Blue! Two of these five pastels were in common with the Rembrandt set of 90, but the addition of the deep dark blue, and the two pale blues, still about half the cost of buying them individually made this a great choice. Rembrandts are medium soft. The pastels feel solid to your hand (unlike Sennelier for example which feels dusty in your hand) but the marks they make are very soft and blendable. I understand why it is considered the essential workhorse of the craft.

Brightness/saturation of pigment not there like pictured product

This is a fantastic style and brand of pastels.

First, the picture is not the best representation of the colors. I think its just the sellers camera or photo settings because ive made several purchases and all the colors seemed darker or not as vibrant as the pics. Dont get me wrong, the colors are rich and the quality is great if you want slightly harder soft pastels. I love them and thats why i have gotten several sets this far. If your shopping soft pastels, i recommend these moderate price sets. I purchased a cheap set with a large amount of colors and they were so bad that i gave them away since id already tried them extensively in hopes of finding quality in thier quantity.

Excellente qualité superbe couleurs. Mais très long à arriverq
