Sorry, I took them out of the package and have been using them for a while now. I was completely oblivious to the fact that I was in a foreign country.

Selected User Reviews For 16 Pcs Blending Stumps and Tortillions Set
Since college art classes, I had not used blending stubs. After that, I became accustomed to using my finger. But I decided I needed more control over my shading and blending because finger smudging is a disaster when you're working in small spaces and tight corners, as I've been doing lately. br>br>I went to Amazon, as I do most of the time these days, and who knew there were so many different types and qualities of blenders? After reading far too many reviews about rolled up paper, I went with the tried-and-true, which were these double-sided paper rolls. the end of the paper sticks br>br>I chose these because they appeared to be of good quality, were included in the set, and were reasonably priced; I didn't require such a wide range of sizes, but I'm sure I'll use at least half of them. It's a good idea to include sanding sticks as well. Each one has 12 sheets of sandpaper, so they'll last a long time. br>br>These are of good quality. Tightly wound, and sanding sticks make sharpening a breeze. Because they're so dense, I tried sharpening a 3 with a pencil sharpener as an experiment. The result isn't quite as good as sanding it to shape, and it's not something I'd recommend, but it's doable. If there is a small loose piece of paper on the tip after sanding to a point, simply cut or clip it off for precision. They are extremely effective for me. br>br> There are no issues.
If you've ever used a Tortillion or blending stump, you'll be familiar with how easy it is to figure out. This product is reasonably priced and, to my delight, extremely powerful. My preferred mediums are charcoal and graphite, but they also sell pastels, oil pastels, colored pencils, and chalk. br>Then wipe them clean, removing the graphite and peeling the layers, or sanding if the colors are particularly ground in. They don't perish, they simply don't! There's only one drawback, and it's probably due to the fact that they're so tough. Peeling them is more difficult than usual.
I've attached a photo of a quick sketch I did to test everything out. This is a fantastic product that transfers lead and blends in seamlessly. It's a good thing they're double-sided and tightly packed. Excellent value for money, with a wide range of products to choose from.
Never would I have guessed that quality matters when it comes to stumps like these, but it does. They lose and gain weight. idk. Are you flexible and fuzzy? I'm not sure if it's because of how tightly they were wrapped or because of the paper's quality, but don't expect a decent tip. You can't use sandpaper to sharpen them because they just fall apart. br>br>But they're cheap?.
I've been using these extensively for a few weeks and have had no problems with them. They come in a nice range of sizes, do the job well, sharpen easily (I use a combination of a craft knife and a sanding block), and can also be used with mineral spirits. I'll buy it again if I need it.
I like how they include a piece of sandpaper. Lol. Mineral spirits are an excellent choice. I like the fact that they are available in a variety of sizes. That is a significant benefit. They perform admirably for the purpose for which I bought them. I would purchase this item again.
When sanding down, the stumps are quite flimsy and easily fall apart. I prefer a sturdier blending stump, but for the price, I suppose they'll suffice.
