You have already sold me on them. While I really like some of the color Sennelier gives, they crumble to easily. The Great Americans are so smooth and buttery and a bigger stick.

Sharon, do you use any pastel pencils for detail work? I find for tight areas I like to use them to move the pastel around a bit but can't find any that have nice rich darks. The nu pastel is the same way. Any thoughts on a hard stick or pencil for the darks? Or do you just rely on the soft?
