Good price and nice soft buttery pastels ! Using them all the time

I have only been using soft pastels for 2 plus years, so I am still searching for my favorite brand. I have tried Sennelier, Rembrandt, Mungyo, Richeson hand-rolled, Unison and a few cheaper brands. They all have their pluses and minuses. I found that the Sennelier brand was very inconsistent in the hardness/softness. The others seemed to be more consistent. Great American seems as good or better than any of the aforementioned. I especially like the square shape. I will probably buy more Great American pastels from Dakota Art in the future.

These are wonderful colors and soft pastels. Only one broken on arrival.

While this is a good size pastel and good quality the colors I saw on my screen were more actually reds and the colors that showed up were not those reds. They were reddish tones but not what I thought they were going to be color wise.
