Lovely Pastels

By Abi

from Washington, D.C.

Pros

Best Uses

Comments about Blick Artists’ Soft Pastels Sets:

I love these pastels. I've been moving into working with soft pastels from working mainly with Conte crayons and other harder mediums, and have tried several different brands. I work on a variety of subjects, including portraits, landscapes, and figurative abstracts.
The Blick pastels come in a more limited color range than Sennelier, Unison and other major names. That said, the quality of the pastels is excellent; I love the way they glide onto the paper. They are smooth and creamy without being unduly crumbly, and their pigment load is excellent. I would definitely recommend them to anyone who works in Pastel, and particularly to those interested in getting involved in what can be a rather expensive medium.

Pleasantly pleased

By Newswriter

Pros

Best Uses

Comments about Blick Artists’ Soft Pastels Sets:

Soft pastels are new to me and I started out with Prismacolor 96-piece and Dick Blick 30-piece landscape sets. I then added other sets such as Rembrandt, Sennelier and the Richard McKinley Great American Landscape assortment. I wondered if I had goofed getting the Blick set. I thought they might not be up to par with the others. Working on a painting recently, I broke out the Blick set because of a few colors I needed and found them to be wonderful. I liked the texture, the colors and the way they went on the Pastelbord. I now regret not getting the full Blick set.

Comments about Blick Artists’ Soft Pastels Sets:

These pastels are really smooth & creamy. The only problem I have with them is that I wish they had more colors. Already I have picked out some favorites and keeping note, so that I can reorder them.

Comments about Blick Artists’ Soft Pastels Sets:

I thought I would try a small set to see if they were really soft and they are super! Love the buttery feel, size and price...thanks ,DB I teach classes and with beginners they are hesitant to spend a lot of $ so these will be perfect. Jan T
