    "Nice set of muted soft pastels"
    I needed more muted pastels for my landscape paintings and this set was perfect for distance, sky and water. Just the right size, also. When sticks are too big they can be difficult to use in small areas. These are just right, as little red riding hood said!

    "Blue Earth pastels"
    Fantastic colors! They look good enough to eat! Can't wait to start painting with them. In addition I must say that I enjoy receiving the news letter. Maybe one day I will have the courage to take part in one of the contests, but in the meantime it is nice to know about what is going on in the pastel World.

    "Blue Earth Land and Sea / Darkest Darks/ Brights"
    I couldn’t wait for the arrival of my new Blue Earth Pastels! I relied upon them to complete a pastel painting I intend to enter into a National On Line Exhibition sponsored by the SE Florida Pastel Society. True to my expectations, the buttery soft Blue Earth Pastels made my “ Nark Making” a Pleasure!

    "Blue Earth Pastels"
    I was curious about the Blue Earth pastels. I had not used them before. They are very soft and lay down like butter. I love the colors in the Land and Sea, as well as the Portrait set that I purchased.

    "Blue Earth sampler"
    I love this set! I'm using it to complement my Terry Ludwig Jeanne Rosier Smith Seascape set. I really love the buttery feel of the Blue Earth sticks! These sampler sets are a wonderful way to discover this brand. I have the portrait sampler as well. And the Drifter fits nicely with the portrait. It has really nice colors.

    "Sampler Review"
    I was a bit disappointed by this product. There is little punch to these pastels. For the money, they do not deliver. They apply easily to first layers of harder pastels; they do not have the punch to add a "spice" to the paintings. I doubt I will make future purchases of this product.

    "Just more to love"
    More beautiful colors. I really love these pastels. I also love how they are presented. In color families. Love how they are stored too, in their little square holes. Easy to see which one you want to use next.

    Great Colors but a little pit too soft for my taste.

    "Great to Add to Nomad Set"
    I added this to the Nomad set to keep the number of pastels limited and easy to take out for plein air painting.

    "Love these"
    Wonderful soft texture. They go on so easily. My only drawback is that they are relatively small, but they are also a good price at about $3 per stick. Gorgeous colors.

    "soft and beautiful"
    I love Blue Earth. The texture is like velvet, they are highly pigmented, work beautifully with other soft pastels, and the colors of this set are sublime! I bought one set for myself, have worn them down to half their size, ordered another to give as an award in our Pastels Show, will be ordering myself a 2nd set soon!
