STABILOCarbOthello - Chalk-Pastel Pencil - ARTY+ - Tin of 48 - Assorted Colours with Sharpener, Kneaded Eraser and Blending Stump

These pencils are just what I was looking for. Got the advice to buy these from videos by wildlife artist Jason Morgan from YouTube - he’s always the best resource to go to for pastel art advice.They’re not without a couple teething issues - like sharpening is tricky if you like longer points you need to use a razor or sanding block since the sharpener supplied sharpens stubby points and the crank sharpeners I have break them easily. All workaround-able though.Colours are vibrant and the pastel is very easy to smudge and blend - I’d say these are the best I’ve tried and I’ve tried most popular brands.Plenty of browns and greys - fantastic as usually most sets give you very few leaving you struggling. Lots of warm and cool browns and greys - and black is very black.Comes with a stump and sharpener. Also has a kneaded eraser which feels a lot more like a conventional eraser to me - very hard, but does lift the pastel amazingly well. The tin is nice but I’m not a fan of the flimsy plastic layers as lifting them can cause them to bend and make the pencils fly all over the place (happened already to me lol). The set feels very weighty and well made, and the pencils are lovely to hold - being able to see the colour due to the lacquer on the outer of the pencil is a nice touch.One thing I SO wish there’d been is colour names on the pencils as I find colour names easier to remember than the seven digit numbers.Still worth every penny and so versatile. Love this set! I highly recommend!

I bought these for my daughter who loves art. She is doing her GCSEs and wants to do art in college. She was delighted. The pieces she has done with these are beautiful. Nice and soft, vibrant colours and easily blended.

My first time using chalk pastels, and I so happy with the result. It takes colouring to another level. I am no pro but I do love my pencils and colour and these are beautiful to work with. Very smooth,saturated pigment of colour and the end result is fantastic.

Easy to use, good colours.

This is my very first time working with pastels, and I have to say that this brand is amazing! They blend effortlessly, they have a variety of colours and they are extremely saturated and vibrant. These pencils are great for beginners and I recommend using Pastelmat for these. I will definitely be buying the 60 pack in the future!On an extra note, it's best to work in layers when working with pastel for optimal results.

Excellent , really smooth, vibrant colours, blends really well

Beautiful pencils , beautiful colours Recommend

Stabilo pencils will come in handy for detail work

Love these. I have never used pastel crayons before. Great set of colours and fabulous for detail work. You don't get dust everywhere either!

Excellent product. Vibrant colors.

This stabile set is a treasure in my collection. For blending and shadows for my watercolour or mixed media pieces. It comes with a blending stump and the colours are Lucious and vibrant and blend beautifully. 60 colours is more than I will ever need, but I appreciate so very much. Now I only need to replace individual colours as needed. Yes I highly recommend!

Son de muy buena calidad, excelentes para diseño

Llegó a tiempo y como lo esperado
