Matthew, I didn't read Sharon's pastels thread, but she is the pastel princess, so I always listen to her!

The Unison's are one of my favorite pastels, but for a beginner, they can be a bit more tricky for the shear fact they are wider than others.

The Rembrandt's are dull, but they are a good "cheaper" brand for two reasons;

1. They are massively distributed through Michaels etc. so easy to get.
2. In a cost effective way, they are available in both a Portrait or Landscape set.

I don't use them now, but will sometimes grab one for a massive background area when I don't want to use an expensive one.

Did you tell us what you ended up with?

Good luck, Beth
