They don't adhere well to paper, nor layer very well, and are quite Since they are not for beginners, I indicated that you should purchase a decent set of pastel sticks such as Rembrandt or Nupastel when getting started with pastels, since they will be able to judge how well they work with them and set their expectations accordingly. The beginner would not know the good pastels work and how they can be layered, which could cause them frustration and cause them to.
Pastel sticks that are relatively large come with this set. There is a good collection of colors and the stick is relatively tall.

This is one of my favorite colors, it is just soft enough to use without it breaking into tiny pieces and blends effortlessly.
It's impossible for me not to grab them and use them along with my remaining.
