Comments about Great American Art Works Pastels:

These sticks are beautiful. Huge range of colours and very consistent in hardness throughout the range. They are very big sticks and great value for money. They blend well but light pressure is needed or they can lay down thickly limiting the number of layers you can put on.

Comments about Great American Art Works Pastels:

Wonderfully smooth creamy texture, blends beautifully. Great for final layers, a bit too soft to layer other pastels over. The Pearlescent pastels are fun to use.

Comments about Great American Art Works Pastels:

I did a great deal of research... even bought a "sampler" of the best of the best pastels and decided on Great American Artworks pastels for my "big set" of pastels... I bought the McDaniel plein air set and they are fantastic! They are great! I still use some of the Sennelier, Unison and Schmincke for finishing touches, but the Great American are wonderful. I would recommend them to anyone hesitant to buy... I also wanted to buy products made in America and certainly made a wonderful choice with these. I love them!
