Erin M.Erin M.: I recently got into chalk art and these are my first chalk pastels. The colors are so vibrant and really bring my chalk drawings to life! I usually use Crayola sidewalk chalk for my base, then use these chalk pastels to bring in the details. Loving them so far, and the price is great!

MominaMomina: my sister and I wanted to make chalk art on our driveway at the start of quarantine and regular sidewalk chalk simply wasn'y cutting it! my sister's a young artist and she recommended we get some soft pastels since they have more pigment and are simply brighter and superior. i don't know whether these pastels are good enough for their actual intended purpose, but for what we used it for, it was fantastic!
each individual pastel was skinny and ran out quickly but we were able to use different shades strategically to be able to make giant driveway chalk art.

They break up faster when you push down on the page than high end ones as well because as you try to put more pigment down instead you get more chalk. You don't want more chalk on your painting you want more pigment.
CONS:
Blending:
As for blending it can blend as does all soft chalk just not as well as for example Rembrandt brand. Rembrandt doesn't break up as easy has bolder colors and seems like less chalk more pigment. But that is a 3 x price difference.
Bold Colors:
The colors are not as bold as high end brands because of the lack of pigment. As the term Pastel colors comes to mind. Rather than bright bold reds, greens, extra. Only a few colors out of the 48, one yellow and pink seem to have any boldness. Maybe those two good chalks were mistakes at the factory they put more pigment in resulting in two good...
