Lessons Learned: Artist & Painting Supplies

I did not purchase this set because many of the sets I have purchased have been very disappointing. I swore to myself that I would only buy the best from now and forever and spent a fortune on it. But this is the first ad on amazon.com. And it's too cheap to be good, right? Finally, I love my $400 Caran D'Ache 72 pencil set. I would give the case and cuff for a Conte a Paris pastel pencil set with over 48 colors. I WAS WRONG! The colors I've been missing from my "high" art collections are in this set. Carb-othello pastels are chalky, blend well and are fully compatible with my "best" soft pastels and leads, even the Sennelier "750.00" set! I'm happy again and don't feel cheated. The promises made by the makers of this set are kept, the money spent is the only dissonance, but then who can talk about saving, hm, if you want a set of soft (as in calcium carbonate and pigment) pastels, artisans will use these and will be happy to try them !
