Who knew grays could be so luscious? The tones are muted but they haven't lost their characteristic parent colour and the texture is buttery soft.

They are so rich in color and soft

I absolutely love my new set of Terry Ludwig Essential Grays!

Such beautiful and useful colors. Don't know what I did without them.

I have painted mostly in Southern California and now Tucson. I can literally paint 3/4 of my paintings using just the essential grays. The set is well named, they are essential. Thank you, jerry strangio

As with all Terry Ludwig pastels, these are heavenly. I initially bought them as I was looking for a nice array of grey values for a picture I was working on. Sadly the colors didn't quite work for that (the blue/greys were too blue and the black/greys were too warm). None the less, I have found lots of use for them in very expected places. I highly recommend unless you are looking for a nice value set of cool greys. I think you might need something else. Still a Terry Ludwig fan!

I am enjoying my new Terry Ludwig 30 grays! Gorgeous, subtle colors!

A wonderful set of neutrals to use.

Hi I have received the pastels in Tauranga, New Zealand. I haven't used any yet as they are just so beautiful I just want to look at them for awhile. The colours are true to the pictures on the Website which is good to know. They arrived in excellent condition, none broken, considering the distance they travelled.

My third box. No matter what other brands you use, these mid-value greys are essential. Terry Lufwig pastels are very soft, consistent, do not crumble, but "don't drop them!", because ther are pricey, but you get what you pay for.

The Terry Ludwig pastels never disappoint - they are my favorite of all - it's so hard to have to wait to buy more ! But I do wait and I will buy more !!
