Included (although not in pics above) is the brochure with all colors/names printed out. Art Spectrum Soft Pastels are medium soft pastels from Australia. The Art Spectrum line has unique colors to the Australian palette, including many rich dark tones. The pastels are all highly lightfast and pure, brilliant and intense. They [Art Spectrum Soft Pastels] are actually more semi-soft, similar to Rembrandts. They have a similar feel and performance as Rembrandts, but they have a really nice staining quality. They have a kind of scratchy feel like they contain pumice powder too, but those colors really go on well and cover, and when you tap them or blend them they become really intense. There are some absolutely lovely blues and greens, which I value quite a bit in my work. There are also some very unique earth colors, I think because they are made in Australia, the colors reflect the unique earth tones found on that continent. They have a range of about a dozen of a bright lime green color that is just super. The color is so brilliant on the paper, I just wish I had more use for it. There is a dark sort of Prussian Blue that is really great I definitely want to get more of these to really get the feel for them. I have about 30 or 40 of these and I use them a lot for the early to middle layers of my paintings.
