Rembrandt Pastels are made from the best quality, finely ground pure pigments in an extra-fine Kaolin clay binder. The result is a velvety-smooth softness in every color. Each rich color is thoroughly blended and uniform, end to end. Rembrandt pastels contain no hard bits or sharp edges which could cause shiny spots or scratches during application. Rembrandt pastels are hand-checked throughout production to ensure artists the consistency in texture, color, and working qualities on which they've come to depend. Review: Lovely colors and great quality - I wanted to try Rembrandt pastels so I decided to get this small selection of half-sticks. The colors that come in this set are: white, black, dark brown, sienna brown, yellow ochre, violet, blue, light blue, dark green, yellow-green(lime),olive green, lemon yellow, canary yellow, orange, and red. The colors are not named on the box- they have little "thumbnails" with a number for the color. I am just trying to be helpful to those who want to know what colors come in the set. I mostly use pastels to do "faceups" on dolls. I scrape the powder from the pastel stick so I can "paint" in on the doll's face. I can mix the colors by mixing the powder this way. I found that these pastels mix just as well as paint and are very smooth when applied to a primed doll head. The pigment is pure and very rich, so I don't need to use nearly as much as I did with the cheaper brands. I would certainly recommend these to artists of all levels. I am a fine artist as well as a doll customiser. My art teachers told me over and over not to be cheap about my materials. They were right, too! You should respect your work as an artist and buy high quality supplies. Review: Rich colors NOT chalky - These are wonderful! I shave off flakes onto backgrounds to complete my adult coloring book pictures then blend with my finger or a round cotton makeup pad. Works well on grayscale too to add color to backgrounds where the images aren’t distinct. I love making clouds on my pictures with these. I really covet the full range of colors. From what little I’ve done so far I’d love to be able to do a whole pastel picture of florals with these. They aren’t chalky at all & the colors richly cover the page with ease. ## Features - These professional-quality soft pastel sticks are manufactured with only the purest pigments and finest quality kaolin clay. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0010YTNOE | | Additional Features | Non-Toxic | | Age Range (Description) | Adult | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Best Sellers Rank | #90,251 in Arts, Crafts & Sewing ( See Top 100 in Arts, Crafts & Sewing ) #139 in Drawing Pastels | | Body Shape | Round | | Brand | Rembrandt | | Brand Name | Rembrandt | | Closure Type | Snap | | Color | Multicolor | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 298 Reviews | | Drill Point | Chisel | | Global Trade Identification Number | 08712079257507 | | Grip Type | Smooth | | Hand Orientation | Ambidextrous | | Hardness | Soft | | Included Components | 15 half pastels | | Ink Color | Multicolor | | Item Dimensions | 1.1 x 7.36 x 5.31 inches | | Item Weight | 220 Grams | | Line Size | 0.3mm | | Manufacturer | Royal Talens | | Material | Color Products | | Material Type | Color Products | | Model Number | 31823108 | | Style | Box | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Writing Instrument Form | Pastel Stick | | Writing Technique | Dry Media | ## Product Details - **Age Range (Description):** Adult - **Brand:** Rembrandt - **Color:** Multicolor - **Ink Color:** Multicolor - **Writing Instrument Form:** Pastel Stick ## Images ![Soft Pastels Starter Set 300C15.5 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71eaUwEjcAL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Lovely colors and great quality *by P***L on June 9, 2010* I wanted to try Rembrandt pastels so I decided to get this small selection of half-sticks.
