I bought the landscape set a few months ago and also have a 25 pc grey set. These pastels are changing the way I work..in fact I won Best of Show at the Adirondack Pastel Society Show in May of this year. There is no word to explain how these pastels have change my work. I plan to buy more soon!

I have been extremely pleased with the Girault sets and have just used them to create my painting that was juried into the Pastel Society's Exhibition and Ct Pastel Society both in 2009. This painting received the Joseph V. Gifunni Foundation Award at PSA and it was my first; so I am very encouraged to keep painting and using Girault Pastels. My website is : www.artbykarenisrael.com Thanks again for your help. Regards, karen israel ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
When completing this painting (Click on Darks) I relied
heavily on Girault Pastels.They are the perfect consistency- soft
enough to use broad strokes for layering, and hard enough for fine
detail. They have become both my "workhorse" and my finishing touches.
The complexity of Girault darks was vital in conveying the shadows and
setting up the flow of light over the objects. The color range is
magnificent! Sonja A. Kever sakever@hotmail.com
I did use Girault 30 years ago when my Granny used them and remembered Girault to be very high quality so now that I am going "pro" again I want the best in my studio. Saw your sales on ebay, and liked the price. You have a fan for life. I have closed my old business "Victorian Beauty" and retired now to just paint. I do landscapes and animal and portraits, soon to get a blog up and running. Drusilla
