Review on ๐ŸŽจ 27055 Premier NuPastel 96-Count Firm Pastel Color Sticks | Multicolor (1-Pack) โ€“ High-Quality Pastels for Artists by Sasha Hsiao

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great color when dry, even more stunning when wet.

I read the reviews and decided to take a chance because the price was right at the time. My order arrived safe and sound and none of my sticks were broken. Each stick was wrapped in sponge foam. Each stick is numbered so I downloaded a color chart from Blick to get the color names. I did the dry tests and then the wet tests in a coloring book with good quality paper. I wet the brush, twirled it on a stick to pick up the paint, and painted some flowers. The color was amazing. The pigment was strong and rich. It rose and dried really quickly. The color rivaled most watercolor pencils I own. When I wanted to clean up the color, like when I draw outside the lines, it comes off easily with the eraser. I used a Faber-Castell pencil eraser with a brush. I wish there was a way to carry them around when traveling, but this box of '96s is way too big and bulky. Overall I love these!
