Review on 🎨 PanPastel 30800 Original Colors 80 Color Kit: Ultra Soft Artist Pastels with Sofft Tools & Palette Trays - Complete Set for Masterful Artworks by Carla Anderson

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great product but I cannot recommend the palettes.

Got the whole set after trying the solid colors, it's a lot of fun! Even though the manufacturer says you can use makeup sponges with it, the difference is that the sponges that come with these sets are much stronger and the makeup sponges I tried were soft and are soft, making it difficult to thin lines. Makeup sponges can also pick up more pastels, but I can't decide if that's the case. Both are a good compromise. You can also use bells, tortillons, and tree stumps to draw. However, the whole set wasn't the case for me. The pallets are very thin and the lids don't snap into place. If they were stronger I would think they are worth the money. I wish I had checked them out in store before deciding a full set was a good idea. Their use is PTA and they take up a lot of space on my drafting table. I did the math and found I would have saved more tools and money if I had bought smaller sets.

Pros
  • SUITABLE FOR MIXED MATERIALS - versatile and can be used with most other art media (e.g. crayons, markers, ink, pastels etc) for a variety of techniques and on most art surfaces, from smooth to textured
Cons
  • Some small things
