Comments about Richeson Semi-Hard Square Pastels:

Every pastel artist should have these in your set! VERY creamy, doesn't break or scratch as others do-I can do whole painting using these and have very "painterly" effect.

Comments about Richeson Semi-Hard Square Pastels:

These Richeson hard pastels are terrific! The "feel" of the pastels is wonderful! Not scratchy. The colors are nice and vibrant. EXCELLENT variety. I like them more than NuPastel and chances are they are much more lightfast too. I HIGHLY recommend them!

Comments about Richeson Semi-Hard Square Pastels:

I debated about buying these as I had not tried them and only read one review. However this was a great purchase. I have always found the other brand hard pastels a little too hard. These are the perfect texture and hardness. The quality can't be beat. They are hard enough for underpainting on a soft pastel painting. They are creamy enough to paint an entire painting with. The colors are beautiful with plenty of greens for landscape and a great selection of colors for portraits.
