Ohuhu 72 Long Chalk Pastel Set: 72 Pastel Colors Chalk Markers For Artists 4 Fluorescent Colors With 6 Pastel Papers Included for Drawing Blending Layering Shading Pastels Set for Adults Beginners

I bought this set due to the variety of colors it comes with. I am a novice when it comes to pastels and had a starter set from the local art supply store, but found it hard to blend them to achieve the right color. I found it extremely difficult to work with the paper supplied in the box. The texture of the white paper samples was too rough and would present white dimples throughout the drawing. I tried both sides of the paper and one was more textured than the other. I found it difficult for the pastels to adhere to the paper no matter how hard I pressed. I drew the boat with a thicker weighted paper with a slight rough surface and had better success. I also found you get a much deeper and fuller tone when you break off and crush a piece of the color you want to use and use your finger to blend. Great pastels to learn with which are also stored easy enough to remove from the box. I would buy them again.

I'm just starting with pastels but these work great same as anything else I've gotten from Ohuhu!

The amount and size of the pastels are a great value. The chalk pastels are very much vibrant colorful. They work well with my finger tips and I’m happy to have my own set.

My first impression was that these pastels didn’t transfer well to Strathmore pastel paper, but I realized a few things - there are a few hard places on some of the pastels, but you can peel back the label and work from the other end. In addition, I used fine sandpaper to sand down the inexpensive pastel paper and that helped as well. I also used 91% alcohol on some of my “paintings” to paint over some areas to preserve the color a bit. It dulled down the color some, but also made the colors less likely to be affected by rubbing.I removed the trays from the box except for one tray on top and I added some rice to help keep the colors clean. I also use a wide elastic band to secure the box.I’m having so much fun!What a great portable way to create vibrant art! I can even watch TV at the same time as I did with two of these!All of these apply:Ease of Use, Durability, Blendability, Vibrant Colors, Excellent Value, Great Starter Set

These are very nice pastels, They have a smooth consistency and are easy to apply to different surfaces. I bought them twice.

Lots of beautiful colors.. nicely packaged. Haven’t used them a lot, but I’m happy with them so far.

There are so many colors to choose from. The quality is great and the price is low for the high quality.

Soft, highly pigmented, and a great value when everything has gone up.
