#sweepstakes. I only have used a few colors but have them on my list for next order. I also have the Carbothello and the Gioconda Koh Nor set. The FC compare well with the Carbothello brand. I have noticed that sharpening them is no problem what so ever. They lay over nicely with a medium soft pastel stick like Rembrandt's. There are some nice skin tones available in the FB brand and some more greens little variety in browns. I am planning to order the ultramarine violet, light brown olive and russet in Caran d'ache though to have a full color range because there are times that I just like using the pencils. They also work great with colored pencils and even over watercolor as an underpainting.

Pitt Pastels are great pastel pencils. This set size is good. A problem with pastel pencils is that many reds are not really colorfast (not only with Faber-Castell). On the other hand Blick has a great pricing model for all products.

Beautiful pencils. All Faber-Castell pencils are of excellent quality. I have not yet sharpened them so don't know if they hold up. But I assume they will. They are a good addition to my main set of Sennelier 120 colors soft pastels. I am just beginning pastels and feel I have the best materials. Eventually, I might updae to more colors of pencils.

These are a little too hard for my taste, but they are great for detail work ! They're easy to get a fine point and to keep details. Great color range in this set, and very vibrant. They are a wonderful Pastel pencil, it just really depends what hardness level you are looking for.
Excellent quality pastel pencils for this new-to-pastel artist. There are a great selection of natural browns and cool grays that help with fur and animal details. I was very happy with my first project completed with these pencils.
I discovered these pastel pencils while shopping in a local art store for a specific color that my Conte set did not have. I was also looking for a more efficient way to sharpen pastel pencils besides using my Exacto knife. Hint: the small, hand-held sharpeners they sell do not work. I purchased a few pencils that met my needs. I also discovered that the smaller diameter of these pencils fit into my electric sharpener, and, at least at first, had great success sharpening them without breaking. After a few weeks, I have found that I can only sharpen them about halfway before some break. But, it does still save time. The pencils themselves are fantastic. My work, influenced my by graphic design background, requires a lot detail and these pencils are ideal. Plus, the ... MoreI discovered these pastel pencils while shopping in a local art store for a specific color that my Conte set did not have.

I've used Pitt pastel pencils along with Nu pastels on Canson Mi-Tientes, Fisher 400, and now on pastelmat. I like Canson but, of course, it doesn't hold as many layers before the tooth flattens. The textured side will allow for added layers but it doesn't work as well for animal drawings. Love the Fisher 400. Allows for easy blending and many, many layers. Now for the Claire Fontaine pastelmat. It's way too expensive for the quality. It doesn't work as well for semi soft pastels. Very hard to blend. I actually lost the tooth in some areas after not many layers which surprised me. What's also frustrating is that it curls. I can't get it to stay flat. I purchased the 12x16 pad so I could cut it in half to 8x10 but not so fast. It's 1/4" shorter in both directions. ... MoreI've used Pitt pastel pencils along with Nu pastels on Canson Mi-Tientes, Fisher 400, and now on pastelmat.

I purchased the 12x16 pad so I could cut it in half to 8x10 but not so fast. It's 1/4" shorter in both directions. The only thing I like about it is that it doesn't create as much pastel dust. That's probably why it's hard to blend. You really have to have a heavy coating of pastel on the paper to get good blending. I've done many pastel drawings and this one is the most difficult to work with. Waste of money. The blue bird is a quick test piece on pastelmat. The owl is on Fisher 400; the hawk is on Canson Mi-Tientes textured side. Hope this helps.
I love Faber Castell products! I had the set of 12 Pitt Pastels and decided to try out this full set of 60. I've never really used pastel pencils much before preferring to watercolor but I really enjoy using these pastel pencils. The pigment is rich, they don't crumble at all and are very easy to lay down color. Even on not-so-high quality paper, they still do an amazing job! Blick has the best prices too and fast shipping!
I have used this brand and Derwent pastel pencils, and in my opinion these Faber Castell ones are much better. They are much easier to sharpen ( with a knife), as the cores are slightly softer and less brittle and the wood is not as hard. Also a prefer the colour range, which I find more natural. Only one downside is that the colour names are not printed on the pencils, just the numbers. As I use different mediums it is hard to remember the numbers, so I use a chart. I find all Faber Castell products to be superior, especially Albrecht Durer watercolour pencils and Polychromos pencils.
I work with soft pastels and some other brands of pastel pencils.These pencils are very hard. If you're looking to layer them over soft pastel sticks, you might not be able to. They layer over my hardest Carré pastels, but once you get beyond Rembrandt-level softness it gets difficult and you're better off using another product. They're great for pastel pieces made with pencils alone, though! I have found that they shine the brightest when I keep them away from the sticks.Another thing to note, that I did not quite expect when purchasing them, is their lightfastness ratings.... These are not rated the same as their colored pencil line, Polychromos. Many colors that are lightfast in the Polychromos line are rated as not being lightfast in this line. Their website ... MoreI work with soft pastels and some other brands of pastel pencils.These pencils are very hard. If you're looking to layer them over soft pastel sticks, you might not be able to.

These are not rated the same as their colored pencil line, Polychromos. Many colors that are lightfast in the Polychromos line are rated as not being lightfast in this line. Their website has a page that discloses the ratings. Only 35 of the 60 pencils have a lightfastness rating of three. Most of the greens and reds are not lightfast. This is something to consider if your work is going to be sold or taken to shows/displayed in areas that have a considerable amount of UV light.Overall, these pencils are okay. They're not quite what I expected, but I do use them and like them. I may look into purchasing from other brands in the future though, to be honest.#sweepstakes
