I use these for that that last minute touch of POP.

"Nice set of Pastels!"
Excellent service from Dakota. Order shipped quickly. Was packaged well. And .... no broken pastels in the box! I like to do this myself, rather than allow UPS to decide how many pieces my pastels should be! The colors were just perfect for my work. Thank you for such a great experience.

"A little bit gritty"
I know the grittiness is because of mica embedded in the pastel. Nevertheless the pastels produce rich colors. When used on art paper such as Canson Mi-Tientes, they have an iridescent look that is quite beautiful. When used on a sanded paper such as UArt 400, they look more glittery. I bought both the darks and the full set, and I am glad I did.

"Very Iridescent"
This is a nice set of iridescent soft pastels. I use them for accent for my watercolor paintings. Each stick does a very great job. The colors are light. They adhere to watercolor paper even without a gesso prep.
