I'm a watercolorist and I have used these to cover up some things I couldn't fix in watercolors. There is a wide range of colors so you can make many colors from this set. I ordered the colorless blender from PanPastel and that works great too. Would be awesome to include with this set. The price seemed just right. The set included some Sofft tools which was nice to try out. Extra lids would be great as I might want to separate them some time but no biggie. Overall, a nice set to get started with. Review: Worth every single dime - I am a polymer clay artist. I've heard people rave about these pastels and I've seen what people have done with them regarding polymer clay. However, they are quite expensive so I hesitated for a long time. I just finally got fed up with having to shave low quality stick pastels into a power and inferior pigments and the mess and possible color shift after baking. Long story short- I bought this set as a test, it looks like it had some nice earthy browns and greens and figured it would be a safe color palette. Oh boy am I in trouble. These apply like butter. They are like nothing I've ever used and can be applied with your finger, or the included applicators. So far- I've not noticed any color shifting after baking. The pigment is saturated and it seems to be a very high quality product. While the price is quite high, I feel this is one of those products, depending on how you use it, less it more and they should last a very long time. Keeping in mind my use is on polymer clay- very different from actually drawing or painting with them. I can't wait to add to my collection. Excellent product! I highly recommend this product. It's surprisingly high quality. Definite must have for all artists. ## Features - An introductory range of five shades - Includes - Hansa Yellow Shade, Permanent Red Shade, Violet Shade, Ultramarine Blue Shade, Permanent Green Shade and Sofft Tools (1 Sponge Bar, 2 Knife Covers and 1 Mini Applicator) - UNIQUE PAN FORMAT for easy, even application with Sofft Tools while creating less dust for a cleaner working environment - MIX AND BLEND dry color like paint!

The pastels are very easy to work with. I did not like the stacks so I bought a palette tray, which is perfect. However, I got the wrong colors in this order. As you can see from my pics, I ordered the earth colors with green and yellow and did not get that. I like and will use the colors I got but I really wanted the green and yellow that were supposed to come in the pack. I'm not going to return it, though (why would I send back the awesome colors I did get?). I'm trying to decide if I want to just order the individual colors or order the pack again (2 colors would be duplicated). All that said, working with these is very easy and they are fantastic for patina and antiquing. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/2403723-artist-pastels-by-golden-starter-shades-set-5-color-professional](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/2403723-artist-pastels-by-golden-starter-shades-set-5-color-professional) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-10*
