Excellent value
I've had these pastels a year while doing a life drawing night class. They have a really good range of shades and great coverage on sugar paper. The only down side is one or two have seemed to have a kind of waxy surface to them, and I've had to rub them on a spare piece of paper first to get below this. They also crumble easier than other more expensive pastels, but for a quarter of the price I've found them excellent value. Most weeks I complete at least one A2 picture with heavy shading from the pastels and I still have most of the pack left. I recommend these pastels especially if you're just starting with pastels and want to 'have a go'.

Fantastic Value for Money
I used these soft pastels on black paper and they were fantastic.
Loved the range of tints, white through cream and copper all the way to pitch black.
Far, far better than the charcoal I was intending to buy.
Thorughly recommended.

Excellent value
A good range of greys, from black to white, excellent for setting out different tones. There seems to be quite a variation in consistency, from the good and smooth to the harder and gritty, but for the price no-one would complain.

Amazing value for money
A seriously great solution to my Pastel problem. Couldn't find cheaper - or better - anywhere else. (Lots of sticks in the box too!)
I looked in several places to no avail - then I found these. What a bargain.

Good range of tones
Much better than I expected - I thought this would be a few white, few black and few grey but instead it's a complete set of differing tones of grey. Good to use and excellent price.

Very good value for money
Pastels are extremely expensive in most art shops. Hobbycraft pastels are of good quality and an amazingly low price. The service at the till was also very friendly and efficient.

White and black pastels
I use a lot of white so was looking to buy white and a deeper black only. Good that you don't have to buy a whole set of colours when you need just white or black.
