Kingart Pastels Studio Chalkboard Chalk Assorted 24 Count

I really like this pastel chalk. The shipping was very slow and delayed but I like these chalk pastels a lot. The colors are very vibrant and the colors are good ones that I will actually use not some weird colors that go with nothing, yes I've had a few deliveries from Amazon that had strange colors in them. I will definitely purchase again as soon as I need more.

These Soft Pastels were super good especially for the price. You get ALOT of different colors and they look amazing on Canson Graduate Black paper! I highly recommend these to anyone who is a beginner at using chalk pastels! They were shipped in a sturdy box and got here in No time. Nothing was broken or shattered which is a plus! I included a photo of how i keep my pastels . The way you store them is up to you. This just so happens to be my favorite way of storing them!

Item is as described. Easy to use. A great assortment of colors. Note: while using on a black chalkboard, not all the colors will show up as many are too dark.

I have not used much chalk in my sketches yet, but it works very well on black paper. Blending is easy but can get messy. I found that it works well when I break the sticks in half or thirds, it will help in the drawings, especially in small spaces. This pack has a nice assortment of colors. In would have like more pieces of white. I purchased a separate box of white chalk pencils. As a beginner I am trying all mediums, and chalk is fun to work with.

Using them to color my polymer clay to make jewelry and other things. They worked perfect!

her art teacher was pleased with these

I liked the variety of 64 colors to play with. they are a nice set for beginners to explore with. They seem to blend easily and have good pigmentation.

Bought this item to use on a kitchen chalkboard. They are nice and I like the variety of colors.

I worked with soft pastels for the first time today and I learned quite a bit from our instructor. Artist quality soft pastels are very expensive. There are some lower priced options available, though. Unfortunately these don't fit the bill. These are close to street chalk. They break easily, give off a lot of dust. and, most importantly, they have very little pigment and color density. I found that the pastels hardly “registered” on the paper. Mostly the pastel crayon just created dust and virtually no color vibrancy or substance. You probably need to spend a bit more time get a decent beginner's set of pastels. This low priced set was just too good to be true.

this pastel set seems like a good value, but the chalk is formulated more like a sidewalk chalk, all of the colors are very pastel and not bold. returning extra sets. kingart sampler on left (top) of photo, regular artist quality pastels on the right (bottom).
