Extra-Soft Pastels are comfortable to hold and invite you to cover large areas with a lush, luxurious color. Each pastel is composed of high quality pure pigment and a natural transparent binder.

Review: Among the very best - I've been an amateur pastel painter for about 10 years, using primarily Nupastel and Rembrandt, and a few sticks of Unison, Great American, and Terry Ludwig - so I feel that I can compare these Sennelier half sticks with other popular brands. I wanted some softer, more highly pigmented sticks and these satisfy that desire. These are highly pigmented pastel sticks of about the same softness as my Unison sticks - which is to say, much softer and "better" than my Rembrandts, not quite as soft as my Great Americans. Softness varies from stick to stick, as it does with all sets, but all the sticks I've used will lay down densely pigmented color smoothly, yet they can also lay down relatively fine lines. ==> They are not "crumbly" at all !<== There's a wide range of colors, with excellent selection of colors for general pastel work. The value of this set (for general use) is probably unsurpassed among high-end pastel sets. The set took a couple of weeks to arrive, but the sticks were all intact. Sticks vary significantly in softness, as they do in all sets. Many sticks are very slightly curved, so before trying to lay down a wide swath of color, it's a good idea to test the stick, and use the convex side of the curve. They will soon wear down to a "straight" shape if that's what is wanted. So far I can't think of a single negative of these. I'll update this review after I've used them for a longer time period. UPDATE AFTER ABOUT A MONTH of use - I wouldn't change a thing in the above review. If you can use very soft pastels (for a long time, I was too heavy handed), these are the best 120 half stick set out there - no doubt about it. (I have another set of 120 half sticks from a different manufacturer. They're also excellent but the color selection isn't as good as the Senneliers.)
Review: The best pastels EVER - These are the best soft pastels I've ever used. They are highly pigmented and very soft. I use them for doll face ups. They are expensive, but worth the cost. This set had some great colors in it for my use. The packaging was VERY good, the pastels were securely surrounded by foam and tightly packaged so that there was zero breakage.

**Q: How.do you find this set for doing portraits? can it cover most skintones (caucasian, asian, african etc)?**
A: This set would work but you should try the Sennelier portrait box to better cover skin tones which Amazon also sells; I have loved using this set

**Q: Are these chalk or oil-based?**
A: These are soft pastels which are pure pigment and minimal binder. Some people will describe them as chalk pastels but this is a misnomer as soft pastels do not contain chalk. These produce dust when used. They are very soft so a light touch is needed and the colors are beautiful. These are not oil pastels.

**Q: Are these oil pastels or soft pastels. Box says soft. Description says oil. Two different products.**
A: These are soft pastels and they are great!  I love them!  The oil pastels are more like crayon but soft pastels are more like a creamy chalk.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Freaking amazing
*by V***A on June 13, 2022*

I loved this product the moment I saw it online, but it was nothing to actually having it in my hands. The pastels are half sticks but they are still quite large so they are plenty big enough. (I placed a pencil in the photos for comparison). They also have some weight to them which is quite nice. They are very soft so they go on so smoothly to whatever surface you choose to use. I did the swatching on canson mi tientes paper which didn't work too well for my cheap, harder pastels but it worked beautifully for the sennelier ones. I haven't done a painting on that paper but I have a suspicion it wouldn't layer very well. swatching works great though. I was surprised to see that, even with them being as soft as they are, they don't crumble to pieces when using them. They probably would if you used to much pressure but if you don't push too hard they're totally fine. The color range is gorgeous and can be used to paint pretty much anything you desire and more. The color payout is insane, they're so bright they almost glow. Some of them are softer than others but that's to be expected because of the different pigments used to make each color. I have zero complaints for these and I think they are a great purchase for anyone interested in pastels no matter the skill level. I did a lot of research to find a nice set and this was by far the cheapest I could find with the best color range. Nothing else even came close to the quality compared with the price and amount in the set. I almost feel like it's stealing to get this set at this price. I would highly recommend these to anyone!
