Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I am a beginner at pastels and didn't want to invest a fortune until I was sure it would be something I would enjoy. I do. And I enjoy these pastels. My teacher was happy with the quality of both the paper and the pastels I chose from Amazon and is considering buying both for the classes she teaches in public schools. If I ever 'advance' to higher quality products, I will be sure to compare them. I did upload my first picture in case of curiosity!
