Faber-Castel FC128272 Creative Studio Soft Pastel Crayons (72 Pack), Assorted

I wanted a little cheap set to play around with in my coloring books I've wanted the pan pastels for so long now but the cost is outrageous so I got this little faber castell set. Pretty good for a cheap little set I was happy with the product I dont have much to compare it to but they blended smoothly and the color range is nice also it will last me a good while as I mostly use it for backgrounds. I would buy again its a great budget set

I bought this for my granddaughter for Christmas. I was extremely happy with the substantial size and volume. The assortment of colors was bright and vivid, and very good quality. I was very pleased with this purchase, and my granddaughter loved her gift.

Vibrant variety of colors, they apply smoothly, eraseable, very sturdy and don’t seem they would break easily, small size for easy application, packed well in a sturdy box, drawing lines is easy with the edge of the pastel, blend well with other colors, great purchase.

Is a dream for artists who love bold, vibrant colors. With 72 richly pigmented shades, this assortment offers endless possibilities for blending, layering, and creating stunning works of art. The pastels are soft and smooth, gliding effortlessly across the surface for easy application and beautiful transitions. Their texture allows for both detailed work and expressive strokes, making them ideal for beginners and experienced artists alike. The compact box keeps everything organized and protects the pastels during storage. However, as with any soft pastel, they can be a bit messy, so it’s best to use them in a dedicated art space.

When this asks 'good for beginners', I'm not certain if that is the right question. I've been drawing awhile and have used soft pastels. The beginning pack I got previously was cheap and had good colors, but it gave off an odor which bothered my family. This pack seems like very good quality and no odor. That counts for something. The pigments seem rich. I'm having no trouble blending them together. I am laying down background colors with these, following with pastel pencils by Farber-Castel, then putting in the most detail with Prismacolor pencils. This seems to work well for me.

The box arrived in fair condition, there were some marks around the edge but nothing was damaged. The pastels are fairly small, I'd say about two inches, which is nice enough if you'll be using a brush but it may be a problem if directly using the pastel. That being said, these pastels range from soft to more of a medium firmness, depending on color. This set has a nice range of colors, and is fairly cheap so it's nice if you're just getting started with pastels. My only complaint is that the box, as seen in the pictures, has a little wax paper coating which must have shifted during travel and contaminated some of the pastels with the neighboring colors. It was most noticeable around the black colors especially on the pink and orange color next to it. This is an easy fix, as just wiping away the excess pastel will remove the color, as it didn't stain.

Excellent - can’t go wrong with Faber-Castel products

I’m a pastels and like to throw pastels in my suitcase when I travel. These hold up well when packed and are so easy to use on small pieces because of their small size. They offer several box sizes. Also the color is vibrant and the pastel doesn’t seem to shed too much.

At a good price and a good variety of colors. Reasonable price and great for new pastel artists. Highly recommended
