Having several smaller sets of Terry Ludwig pastels, along with a good smattering of other brands, I’ve found my overall preference to balance out my range comes in gray muted colors and intense darks and still more Ludwig choices that are lovely blends, simply endearing. As I looked toward a summer workshop with Karen Margulis, I looked at her list and bought her 60 color set after much study. I could have pieced together colors from sets I have. But I would have missed some colors I was sure. This was an investment. But when I looked over the colors, I felt it was selected so very well that for the trip, using the same lovely set that Karen had curated and was bringing was a very conscious choice. It will likely save in time rummaging through sets to find my palettes.

Wanted these for years and finally just committed! Just arrived. Colors are scrumptious. Can't wait to use them.

This was my first Terry Ludwig set and, a year later, am still so pleased that I bought this set. It is so well thought out. I find it to be a comprehensive set, and when I'm using it, I find I'm rarely searching for other colors. I keep the pastels stored in their box. There are some great darks, values and lights. I don't think I could be more satisfied with any other single landscape set!
