Use them with a light hand, but nice quality for the price. A bit softer would have been more preferable for better ease in blending colors. Using for portrait work. A few of the leads were broken, making them difficult to stay sharp. Suspect this was caused in shipping.

These pencils are great for precision work. I definitely recommend using them with a layer of hard pastel to get the process and painterly surface going. Definitely nice for a pencil.

Best Deals for Faber-Castell Pitt Pastel Pencil Set of 24

I loved my set of 24 Faber-Castell Pitt Pastel pencils so much that I decided to order the whole range (set of 60) so I will have a travelling set as well as a set for the studio. These pastels have proven to be quite sturdy, I haven't had one break on me yet. I would probably rate them as a semi-hard pastel, but each pigment has it's own properties and some seem softer than others. They are great for small pastel paintings (5x7 and even 8x10) and excellent for detail work on larger pastel paintings. I would highly recommend these pastel pencils. Please note that these are not oil pastels/colored pencils but are a variation of soft (chalk) pastels.

Honest reviews on Faber-Castell Pitt Pastel Pencil Set of 24

They are great! Work like regular chalk pastels, but no mess on your fingers! Rich color, better to sharpen with a razor blade even though you can use a sharpener, it gets a finer line.

I loved these pastel pencils. I was only sorry that I had only bought the 24 count set. They truly are buttery smooth going on and then when using blending stumps...oh so smooth and beautiful.

I highly recommend this brand of pastel pencils...but be smarter than me...buy the largest set you can afford. There simply were not enough colors to do much of anything...at least for the things I was needing. But a really GREAT product!
