Unison Pastels: Unison has the most unique and dynamic range of colors of all the pastel lines. The color range was designed as a total spectrum, with each color developed independently. Unison does not use a system of pure colors mixed with black and white to form tints as in other pastel lines. The Color Range sets of 18 are a great way to strengthen weak areas in your palette and build up to buying the whole line without duplicating colors. The Unison line is very consistent and makes a great foundation set! The Special Collection colors are super pigmented to add punch to your palette and the Grey sets provide a very nice value selection. Girault Pastels: Girault has been producing these fine pastels since 1780! The Girault pastel has a slightly firmer consistency than the softest pastels, yet they are very smooth and dense when applied to paper. They are creamy without being overly soft. Girault pastels work great for both covering large areas and for delicate detail work. The selection of greys and neutrals is outstanding. Girault is great for plein air work, the size and consistency of the stick allows you to pack a lot into a small space! Terry Ludwig Pastels: Individual pastels are now available! The square shape, creamy softness and stick size make this pastel very popular with pastel artists! They are great for making broad strokes and fine lines, and lay down super smooth. Schmincke Pastels: Schmincke is an especially soft, velvety and intensely pigmented pastel line. Only the purest pigments are used and in the highest possible concentration while the binding compound is kept to a minimum. The manufacturing process is almost entirely done by hand, guarantying homogenous quality and smoothness in the final product. The pastels are amazingly consistent in softness throughout the entire color range from the very darkest to the lightest colors. Schmincke has a great range of blues and violets! Art Spectrum Pastels: Art Spectrum is a medium soft pastel 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. The nature of the individual pigments causes slight variations in the softness of the colors in mass tone. ***WILL SHIP TO U.S. ONLY***On Jul-24-08 at 11:02:34 PDT, seller added the following information:Also, the foam dividers for the heilman pastel box are included.  I had to take them out to fit all of the pastels.On Jul-25-08 at 10:40:04 PDT, seller added the following information:Sorry, I meant wooden dividers not foam dividers :).
