I haven't actually used these pastels yet, but the colors are beautiful.

I received these way quicker then expected, and was pleasantly surprised with the high quality. I only starting to learning to use pastels, but have tried a couple of brands and am very happy with these. They don't crumble like soft pastels, but still provide a lovely, intense color. Highly recommend!

Good value. Nice bright colours. I use this for detail in my pastel art work. Nice strong hard pastel. Nothing was broken although I would have liked a firmer plastic or harder cardboard packaging though the cardboard box was okay.

Very hard. I didn't find them waxy per se other than the smooth outside finish. They do still lay down in a more dry form. These feel like chalkboard chalk but are highly pigmented. They are harder than Nupastel sticks and I feel like they would best be used with sanded paper rather than other pastel paper options. If you are looking for an alternative, Koh I noor also makes a soft pastel stick that is more like Nupastel in shape and consistency but I would say it is a bit softer overall.

I gave these hard pastels to my 12 year old granddaughter along with other art supplies and sketch & drawing papers. She seemed very excited about them. I think it will be awhile before I find out how they work for her. They came packed well and in a timely manner.

I brought these for creating my own weathering powders for use with military modelling. They were perfect.

These are quite hard with vibrant colors. The colors are incredibly true and beautiful. They leave a rather waxy surface and do not blend like softer chalk pastels.
