I have used Othello colored charcoal for 15 yrs. I havent found any that works as well. Othello blends, shades, and makes a sharp line and will stay brite.

2 words "Love Them" These are awesome pencils, great colors, vibrant or dull you decide. Well worth the price, I'll be purchasing them again :-)

Of all the pastel pencils I have used, these are by far my favorite. The colors are vibrant and true and the pigments can easily be blended into the final painting or will stand alone for special effects such as highlighting, tiny twigs, etc. I would highly recommend them. If you are a beginner with pastels, this will give you a head start and you will not become discouraged by using inferior pastel pencils.

Wonderful range of colors in the set of 60 that I purchased. I used a electric sharpener vs. the hand-held one that comes with the larger sets. Make sure you sharpen them VERY gently or they will break. These pencils have a very distinct smell to them from the binding agent, so if you are sensitive to that kind of thing "beware." They are very easy to use, but I seem to have a heavy hand and have to sharpen them constantly.
