Faber-Castell PITT Pastel Pencils Tin Of 12

Beautiful as always. Didn’t expect anything less from faber castell. I already use a couple of their products and the quality level is up there. Fantastic purchase. Can’t wait to get started. Wondering what’s different between these and other brands? If you haven’t watched reviews online, the main difference is the core strength. These pencils are the hardest pastel pencils in the market today. They don’t break the way others do but still have smooth looks.

I purchased these pastel pencils to replace those that are used more often from the larger pastel set I own. I find the Faber-Castell PITT pastel pencils to be one of the better pastel pencils having a colour consistency and for whatever reason the "lead" seems to be less prone to breakages than other makes and is perfect for adding detail to a pastel painting.

The pastels work very well! You can sharpen them to quite a fine point, when I sprayed with hairspray they stuck very well and could layer the only thing that holds me back from a 5 star review is the selection of colours I would have preferred for a different shade of brown because it is quite orange or some colours that would’ve been more suitable for skin tones (I know you can mix them but it would be more convenient especially in exchange for one of the greens or pinks because they are a lot easier to mix) overall very good especially for beginners!!

Good quality, good dense pigmentation and good colours. There are better products on the market for the professional artist but you’ll pay a lot more.

Fantastic crayons in Pastel, they blend very easily, and despite having read about difficulties sharpening them I have to say they are very easy to get really good points just using a decent pencil sharpener. You can also use a wet brush on them to blend or remove thick lines if you have been a little overzealous in using them.

Not as soft as I would have liked. Better on pastel paper than velour or pastelmat.

A good product from a trusted name. Easy to use and a good range of colours. This product would suit beginners or more accomplished users.

I bought these to compliment my other Faber Castell ranges of pencils and I have to say that like all of the Faber Castell I have tried they are very nice, the colours in the pastel range are lovely and they are very easy to use. That said I keep reading that they were designed to provide Pastel pencils that require little or no fixing and yet I will be fixing mine as I really cannot tell that they are any different in that aspect to the various other pastels I have tried in the past, however I am still quite a novice with pastels so it might be something that I am doing rather than the pencils so I will have to see how that spans out as I gain more experience.
