Comments about Townsend Terrages Pastel Sets:

Diane Townsend Pastels work best by laying down Terrage Pastels for the underpainting, then using the soft form Diane Townsend Pastels over the top of the Terrage Pastels. They really do work well. I am very pleased. These Pastels really help me to loosen up and do some really wonderful pastel paintings. I will order more after my Terrage and Soft Pastels are used. Heck forget that, I will order more before my Terrage and Soft Pastels are used. Diane Townsend pastels-Terrage and soft form totally rule in my book.

Brilliant colors that can quickly be laid down on any paper. Because there is a grittiness to them, you have more options as to paper. I sometimes use these to fix shapes, in medium tones on watercolor paper, then go back and finish with softer pastels. Great quality, beautiful colors.

I simply love using these pastels, the colours are gorgeous, the texture is soft without being crumbly and the unusual shape very agreable to handle. Many thanks to Diane Towsend for her hard work to be able to give great pleasure to the artists.

As an admirer of the work of Wolf Kahn, I eagerly awaited these pastels, and I wasn't disappointed. The colors are vibrant, and the color selection is great. After my first two drawings, I'm thrilled with the results.

Unique and complex colors, great coverage and interesting shape resulting in a different kind of stroke. Blendabilty is not bad but given it's texture and the tendency to "hold it's own" terrages are more suited for layering then pushing them around. Texture is a little gritty so if you like soft pastels that would not be it. However, for artists who like to work aggressively and lay down a strong, defining mark that would work perfectly!
