Comments about Great American Art Works Pastel Sets:
I use as a finishing pastel. Very forgiving. Very soft and covers well.I do an under-painting with hard pastels. Then finish with Great American.

Comments about Great American Art Works Pastel Sets:
I use many different brands of various softness, but overall Great Americans are by far my favorites, Ludwigs run second. They do go down fast and shatter when you break them, but I still love them. The colors are outstanding. If I had lots of money, I would buy a full set.

Comments about Great American Art Works Pastel Sets:
I find the Great American Art Works pastels a joy to use. My first set was the Animals collection. The half-stick Outdoor Assortment is a wonderful compliment. I love their feel and buttery smoothness. I also am impressed with the color range. I've used them for an animal portrait, for cloudy skyscape, and landscape.
