Love Them!

These charcoals are awesome! The colors are fantastic and work well on their own or combined with Derwent's XL charcoal (which has violet!) forming a more complete set of chunkies. They also flow well with soft pastels.They're highly blendable and it's easy to get a range of lights and darks. I really enjoy how they feel on pastel paper and they're much easier to work with than the harder pastels, like Rembrandt.As one reviewer said, these come packaged in individual plastic rectangles that are a pain to open and close. However, the easy workaround to that is simply not to store them in their original packaging. I store them like my pastels, in a box with soft padding under and between the sticks to prevent damage and color contamination. I'm sure there're lots of other options to suit different artists' needs. But don't let the original packaging turn you off of a product this good and this fun.The only con I ran into is:Packaging from Amazon SUCKS. This is NOT the fault of Cretacolor, so I didn't knock a star off. However, both times I ordered these there was no, that's right, no, as in zero, packaging material in the box to protect the charcoals.The first order I had to send back and request a replacement because the charcoals were cracked to itsy pieces that I couldn't use.The replacement order is also cracked, but thankfully in larger chunks that, although not ideal, still function for me.I wish Amazon would pack better as charcoals are fragile and need actual packing material to prevent damage.

Product is great, but shipping is not

I like the chunky charcoals, but the first time received they were packaged with no protection in a box with other items. Just left to bounce around and several of the sticks were broken. I then returned for an exchange and the second time they were shipped in a box that was way too big with no protection and they were broken to almost dust. So I ended up just returning and I will buy from somewhere else.

Terrible packaging, good colors.

They are wrapped individually to protect from color contamination, however it necessitates constantly dealing with these plastic boxes otherwise the colors will interact. It is time consuming and unpleasant, as the plastic hurts my fingers.The wrapping of the whole box is from the same plastic and makes me not want to approach them.The colors are good but the experience of using them is not.

Do not buy Prime for these

These water soluble chunky chalks are color coordinated and great when intact for gestural figure drawing. I tried twice but received broken/ shattered items both times due to totally inadequate packaging by Amazon. (See photo before I returned them. ) No bubble wrap. Item banging around in bad fitting box which arrived crushed, tape broken and flapping. It is miraculous that any of the chalks arrived whole. I highly recommend these chalks but not from this vendor. Buy from Cheap Joe‘s or Dick Blick or Jerry’s Artarama who will surely package the item correctly. Now I only will buy Amazon art supplies that come from the factory in metal boxes or something. Amazon also failed to properly package an extra large drawing pad which arrived banging in a huge box but no padding so the item was bent and totally damaged on one side. They did replace and refund the items but I feel sad at the waste of precious and expensive art supplies!Buyer beware! Amazon, get it together!

Poor Packaging = Shattered Product

Like many other reviewers, I received these charcoals (which I couldn’t find elsewhere) in an envelope, with the inner very thin plastic package lightly wrapped in brown paper. Most, if not all, of the individual sticks were shattered or fractured and the entire inner package was full of charcoal powder. Very messy. It’s really too bad Amazon is doing such a disservice to this supplier and/or supplier doesn’t package differently. The colours are sumptuous and consistency of the sticks is very nice.

Un producto delicado y que ensucia mucho

El paquete exterior es bueno pero el interior viene en una caja frágil y con un plástico muy delgado. Tienen indidualmente una cajita plástica que no impide que todas las barras vengan sucias de carbón negro y algunas rotas. Para la foto puse todas las barras en esa caja y dejé los negros en su cajita. muestro el plástico de envoltura individual.Las barras son grandes y al parecer duros .Actualización: pintan precioso, pueden usarse para líneas finas o impresiones más gruesas, solubles en agua.
