Pentel Oil Pastels 50/Pkg

Originally i bought them for event that people of all ages could enjoy doing collaboration art. Children really enjoyed the vibrant colours and many just did on the go amazing master pieces. I never really used pastels myself, but its nice experience and i really enjoyed the range of the colours. I wwould love to see more basic coulours more than one in the pack such as skin colours and white for blending. On down side, its breaking easily especially then paper cover removed. Dont know if thats the mature of the pastel.I have bought several packages for children to use and i see good value. These pastels invite children to draw.

A great product. Wonderful colours for a very low price. Cheap enough for children and useful enough for prifessionals

I love this pastels. They work very well and blend well too. They are it different than the more expensive ranges, but do very good job. I wouldn't bother about buying something more pricy, because this is sufficient enough. You can always go and buy odd ones to extend the range of colours.

The initial Pentel Oil Pastels , which I bought, were square in profile, as opposed to this purchase where the pastels were round in profile. the square profile Pentel oil had less oil content and were easier to work with.However on the plus side, the set of 50 bought had a far wider range of colours. As with any newly purchased product, one has to explore ways of making the most of the product. The price for the 50 set was very attractive. In the past I have worked the initial square profiled oil pastels on a specially prepared textured background to achieve unique effects in combination with Rowney FW Inks.

Bought for my 8 year old son who is a huge fan of Art for Kids Hub on YouTube. He was delighted with these (exactly the same as the ones on YouTube!!) with a great array of colours. Great price too.

In spite of having more expensive sets these are still the set I revert to time and time again. Although small they are easy to use and I like the results I get from using them. I think the price is excellent for the value and they are adequate for my needs as an amateur artist.

Bought for an art class and thought thesewere good value for the number of colours in the pack. Howwever, they are quite hard and it is necessary to press down hard to get coverage. They do not blend well at all, and it took me back to childhood days, using those awful wax crayons. You probably have to pay more for the softer ones, but my experience has put me off oil pastels for a long time! Worth trying if you are not famiiar with this medium.

This came a couple of days early which is good and it came with no broken box or broken pastels and they look like they are good quality too! I recommend buying this!!
