Question 1

What colours are provided

Accepted Answer

101 White, 106 light chrome  yellow, 109 dark chrome  yellow,  118 scarlet  red, 151 helio blue reddish, 167 permanent  green olive, 168  earth green olive, 283 burnt Sienna, 199 black, 140  light ultramarine,  127 pink carmine.  Amazon  have the wrong description  of what colours  you get.

Question 2

Does they have skin tones

Accepted Answer

Hi, 
I only have the box of 24 pastel pencils and depending on what skin tone you are looking for, there are only two light skin colours but the bigger tin of 60 has many more. But they are pastels after all, so I would be using other colours blended together to achieve a true range of skin tone values and they do blend really well together. 
I hope this helps.

Question 3

I want something that will smudge and blend well for backgounds to my adult colouring books. Will these fit the bill?

Accepted Answer

These pastel pencils were on the recommended list from my art instructor (who specialises in pastel paintings) and are brilliant for finer details, once the background of your painting has been established.  They will blend, as they are softer than normal colouring pencils, however if you really want good smudging and blending for a background, I would thoroughly recommend Sennelier pastel crayons.  These are soft crayons which look a little like coloured pieces of chalk, but are soft, almost crumbly and come in the deepest and most subtle of colours.  They will blend and smudge extremely well.  I ordered these also through Amazon.  They are fairly expensive as they are good quality - the softer, the more expensive, I find - so I bought a box of 40 assorted half pastels, which gave a brilliant assortment of colours.  Hope this helps.  Good luck.

Question 4

Are these better than the derwent pastel pencils or carbothello one?

Accepted Answer

I haven’t used the Derwent or Carbothello pencils.  I’m no great artist but attended (before Lockdown) art classes where I live.  I bought on recommendation of our teacher.  I remember as an 11 year old persuading my Father to buy this make of colouring pencils (they cost 17s 
6d. Which my Father thought was very expensive in 1951).  The box contained 36 pencils and  I still had some small stubs when I left at 18 
to go to College.  So I do believe they are quality pencils and apparently good for smudging, hatching & cross hatching and for use with 
fixatives.  Hope this helps.
