"The Basic Workshop set was designed specifically to offer you a variety of values in each color. Ranging from very light, through two mid-values, to very dark, you should have everything you need to create successful paintings in any setting. With just 40 pastels, it is a practical, convenient set of basic colors that can be blended to create whatever colors, values, or neutrals you may need." ~ Lyn Asselta
