Soft Square Pastels in Wood Case, 72 Colors

The wood case alone is great and protects the soft pastels; only one was cracked. the colors are also vibrant and mix very well

Absolutely beautiful ❣️ My granddaughter loves it. The colors are exactly as describe, ❤️. Delivery was lighting fast❣️ Also received a free sketch pad. Kingart really did deliver, will definitely be doing more business with them.

The box and trays are not suitable for storage, and the storage bag doesn't come close to fitting everything and would ruin the oil pastels and charcoal if thrown in together, but the supplies are nice for beginners to try different things out. The drawing paper is poor quality, thin and soft, but again, good for beginners to save money while experimenting. I pulled everything out and put it all into small pencil boxes, pill boxes etc in a small bin so it could be kept organized. I would probably look for a better pencil sharpener, but everything else is adequate and the clipboard is very big and the kids love carrying it around by its handle feeling like artists!

Bought it for my daughter she loves them.

These are student pastels, not pro pastels. Which is OK, since they're priced like student pastels. They're rather hard and chalky for soft pastels and the colors are less than brilliant, but they're fine for playing around and experimenting. The wood case is meant to impress when given as a gift, but as with so many gift cases it's kinda cheap and meant to suggest that the product is grander than it actually is. A utilitarian box with stiffer foam would have been preferable and would have indicated a more serious product.

It took me a little practice to get used to how crumbly these are, but now that I've got the hang of it, I love the bold colors and heavy pigment they lay down. This is a great set for any student or hobbyist, with a really nice selection of colors. The softness of the medium makes it super easy to blend, almost like a paint, so it's very versatile. Just remember to be careful about the large quantities of color dust....

There are many colors in this pack (72) but they do say it has reds and it's closer to pinks than red. It's kind of annoying but the chalk is good.

Similar in scope to the KINGART 130 Select Series Graphic Collection, Set of 110 Art Set, except this is a smaller version but the same quality materials. This is a great art set with a variety of high quality color options in a well designed and durable case. Unlike a lot of sets where the part count is inflated by fluff (I have seen several kits that include a pad of paper and count the individual sheets in the count total!), the count set here is almost completely pencils or charcoals, so you are getting excellent value.

Many colors, but some of them are harder than others. As the product description says, you can "smudge them with your fingers. OK set for beginning art students, prior to buying the more expensive types.

I am new to pastel painting and started off with a set of grays as they fit what I was initially planning to paint. But, I soon realized I needed some more colors to round things out and this set of 72 colors for KingArt fit the bill. It offers a nice range of colors in an attractive, well made wood case - definitely gift quality. They pastel sticks are well made and feel of a pretty good quality (I am a novice with pastels, so I am not an expert judge... yet).

This was a gift for my 16 year old daughter who is a bit of an artistic snob and she completely adored them. They work really well, the variety of colors is great, and they aren't "dry" like some of the lower quality ones you can find out there. They seem to be holding up quite a while in spite of heavy use and she's been making some beautiful pictures. They do stick to the page really well too, no crumbling or oil running off making a mess. Easy to blend and layer as well. Really, all in all a great set!

If you have never worked with pastels, you need to understand the difference between Soft and Hard is related to the density of the sticks, not the colors created. Some people may be put off at how easy it is to break a soft pastel, but they are designed to crumble a bot easier for blending and vibrancy. Don't get this product if you really need something closer to a colored pencil (look for pastels that have a paper wrap around them that needs to be peeled away as you use them instead).

This set of soft pastels has a wonderful case and a gradient of color changes that should be more than satisfactory to an artist at a pro level, and a wonder to the casual artist. Not being the artist of my family, I had a hard time discerning the difference between some of the shades when they were in the box, but in the hands of someone with even a modicum of artistic skill, these colors can be blended to create divergences of the most subtle texture. Great buy.

This is a wonderful set of pastels with a wide variety of colors. They come in a wonderful box which makes it easy to keep them organized. They go on smooth and are easy to blend. the full list and swatches of the colors is on the back of the cardboard box that the pastel box comes in (see the product picture). The 72 piece set is a really great set that has a complete range of colors to add to any artist's toolbox.

This set of 72 soft pastels comes in a beautiful box that holds the individual pieces securely. The color selection is really nice. You can use the pastels to add a soft color to your pieces, but you can also build the color, layering it to make it more vibrant. Given how nice looking the box is, this would make a great gift.

I have a crafty family and we love all things art. This set is a nice set. It is good value. The box is nice, we are not traveling artists so don't rely on the portability - just the storage so this works great for us. the pastels are a little less oil-paint than most we have used but they certainly provide color to the page.

KINGART 121 Gallery Series Sketching & Drawing Tools, Set of 74 retails for $53 at time of review, however it typically runs about $36 and was only $20 two weeks ago. So, big price swings in December!

I have a Prisma set that I have been using for a while, it does have quite as many drawing tools. And a few other sets since the grandkids love to draw, color and just make fun stuff.

The KINGART is a decent set if you can grab it under $30. It’s loaded with a variety of drawing and sketching tools.

I also have the KINGART 125 Artist Soft Pastels, Wood Box, Set of 72 Art Set, which retails for $69, on sale for $45 at the time of this review however it typically has sold for $42. It’s a very nice set but the case is very big since everything is on one level while the other KINGART kit had a more compact case which is easy to take in the road.

This is a good set of pastels for the price. The color assortment is good and the color concentration generally good. This is an excellent set for the beginning pastelist although the softness and intensity might not meet the standards of the more experienced artist. I take one star off for some of the colors having uneven hardness. This seemed especially true for the pigments with more white in them. The softer sticks wre the darker nes. But this will probably not be noticed by most beginners.

This Artist Soft Pastel set is very beautiful. We like it a lot. We will be using it ourselves, but it could be a perfect gift for a person interested in painting. The pastels come by mail in a beautiful, colorful carton and it can be given this way as a gift or present to one's-self, loved-one, or friend. The set itself is housed in an Espresso Stained Hardwood case.
The set includes 72 Artist Soft Pastels in a variety of beautiful bright colors. The colors draw the eye and are invitations to use this medium to create and enjoy the art to producing master-pieces for enjoyment.

This is a beautiful art set. The box is very nicely made, and the pastels themselves are ideal. There's a nice assortment of colors and the instruments draw beautifully. They are easy and comfortable to hold. And the list price is fair, considering the high quality of the package. Ideal as a holiday gift for an artist in your life.

LOVE this set. Love the pastels. Love the box. I was thrilled when it arrived. The box is lovely and the pastels are organzied beautifully. There are 72 colors ranging from whites, yellows, reds, greens, blues, and greys. Easy to use and and work with for an accomplished artist or the new artist just starting to learn to play with these. ENJOY!

This set is beautifully put together with soft pastels that work wonderfully. They come in a nice box and sit in individual slots. The pastels shade smoothly and blend perfectly. The size is easy for the artist to hold and to control in movement. The color is bold and rich in hue. I am impressed with the set and the price is a great deal for these!
