These are not soft pastels.

Comments about Blick Artists’ Soft Pastels Sets:
These are more like hard pastels. The box does not even say soft pastels.

Very good quality pastels!
By Papo

These pastels where recommended to me by a fellow art teacher. These pastel are well made and the quality is exceptional.
Nice set of pastels
By Lori
from Toronto, Canada
Very nice set of pastels. The Blick pastels are quite firm (similar to Rembrants) but the quality is very good and the price is excellent. I also have the larger set and they are all really good value.
First time user of pastels.
By Maggie
from Kingsley, PA
This was my first time working with pastels. I bought the Blick brand because of the price and was extremely happy with it. I took a class and the instructor let us use some of her more expensive pastels but found the Blick brand to be just as workable.

Blick artist soft pastels set half sticks
By Ada
from Elk Grove, CA
A nice variety of colors. Maybe too many 1* values? 2* values would be better I think. The 1* values start to all look like white. At least I know I won't run out of white too quickly I guess with these other light value options. Colors look a bit ordinary compared to a student grade pastel set I've tried during college. Sometimes normal colors are what one needs to get the job done though. The magic happens not from the swatchs, but from the blending and layering.

Great soft pastels!
By J
from Naples Fl
Great to see all the colors in this set!
really great pastels
By Tommy D.
from Philadelphia PA
I like these pastels because they are softer than regular oil pastels, yet don't crumble. I can make precise lines or add layers of color. The box is lined with soft material so they don't break in shipment. I only give them 4 stars because I'm relatively inexperienced with pastels and only have used maybe 4 brands.
Good beginners set
By ALove
from Iowa City, IA
A great variety and quality for those starting out in pastels on a budget. A good variety of colors, including darks. But you may want to supplement with additional darks.
