Paul Rubens Handmade Artists Soft Pastel Review

Today we are taking a look at the brand new Paul Rubens hand-rolled artists' soft pastels! https://amzn.to/3CFf1iC (affiliate link) extra 10% off coupon code: lindsay01 valid March 14-27 2022

This is a set of 40 assorted hand-rolled soft (chalky) pastels packed in a sturdy box with a foam insert. It is available on Amazon: https://amzn.to/3CFf1iC

Pros:
Price
Highly pigmented
Very soft (similar in feel to Sennelier)
East to blend
Best for the last layers of a painting as it will fill the tooth quickly

Cons:
No lightfast info
No open stock availability
The color selection in the set is not well balanced
These are handmade so the sizes are inconsistent

Bottom line:
I will use these with my other pastels as final layers on paintings. This set on its own is not a complete color range but it's a nice addition if you already have basic colors and want softer pastels to layer on top. I wish there was lightfast or pigment info for these as it would make me feel confident in using them in professional pieces but as far as performance goes they feel like other soft pastels I own.
