| GIRAULT PLEIN AIR by DOUG DAWSON |
| GIRAULT A DELIGHT TO WORK WITH ! |
The first time I held a Pastel Girault, I expected it to go down like a hard pastel.
It felt hard in my hands, I was surprised by how
soft they really are.
The sticks are thin which gives one a lot of control.
They hold together well and do NOT fragment.
There is also a large selection of rich colors"Their small size and light weight make them ideal for
"Plein Air" Painting!" Doug Dawson, PSA 2008 Hall of Fame

| This set of 50 pastels contains the six color families, and each family has a good value range plus a selection of warms and cools. I've also added white and a mid-grey, since I think it's important to have these for slight value adjustments. By the way, one property of Pastels Girault that distinguishes them from most other brands is that, although they are soft pastels, they are hard enough to serve as a blending tool. If I want to mute a color, I can easily use a Girault pastel of a complementary color to "feather over" and mute colors
