Reviews of Darice 4-Piece Pencil and Pastel Blending Set

Customer Ratings:

If you are new to pencil drawings, and learning to shade in areas for shadow or depth, you will need these. I previously used my finger, til I heard about these. I amuse my ego by thinking that I would like to be good at Drawing. Just starting out drawing, but to soften the Grainyness of your drawing, these finepoint and bluntpoint shading sticks are perfect for doing that. I recommend a set for anyone who is interested in drawing.

Love these, they are exactly as you would expect a blending pencil to be. They are sturdy and made of decent grade paper. I use these all the time for feathering and color blending...shadowing, and contour. A+ Actually, I need to get some more...lol...that's how much I use these. Worth every penny.

Blending sticks made of paper or other similar blending products are a must have when using artistic quality colored/graphite pencils and pastels. I love this type of blending tool the soft paper allows for a more gentle and directed blend of my colors. Other types of blenders give a varying degree of blend, perfect for specific effects. The only unfortunate thing with these tightly rolled paper blending sticks...my dogs love them! So keep them away from dogs even though the paper is inert and will not harm their digestive system. Recommendation: Get a lot of these sticks and keep them out of reach of your dogs.

Last the price was right for this product. I examined the cost of sets like this at two local art stores. Too pricey and less variety of sizes. Amazon was the perfect source for me.

I had never used blending pencils before, I would just use my finger tips or tissue. I really have enjoyed playing with the blending pencils to creat different kinds of shading.
