These are absolutely fantastic, color-rich pastels of very high quality. Jack Richeson is my favorite brand and their pastels never disappoint me. I love them and would like to try and review all the colors. I highly recommend them. They are soft and very high in pigment. I can't even say how much I love these pastels. They aren't as dusty as many other brands too.

I have many sets of pastels, from hard to medium to soft to very soft. I like these pastels as they are easy to handle (once you remove the wrapper) & the degree of softness is just right. I purchased the darks, browns, neutrals & grey. Good value.

The set I received is slightly different than pictured, 2 colors are different than advertised, but they have excellent pigment, rubbing off easily on my hands and paper. They blend smoothly on paper and are an excellent addition to my current set. Highly recommend

Jack Richeson pastels are beautiful; soft yet sturdy and a good size for the price. I paid $83 AUD for this set of 20 Darks. My only complaint is that there are five blacks and they are very similar in colour. I wish they had included more dark reds or greens. Besides that, these pastels are professional quality and good value.
