Artecho Oil Pastels Set of 48 Colors, Soft Oil Pastels for Art Painting, Drawing, Blending, Art Supplies for Artists, Beginners, Students, Teachers (10 x 70 mm)

Although not a common brand name in oil pastels, these are my favorite. They are really reasonabley priced, but even if they were more expensive I would choose them over other brands, I have even purchased multiple times. I have used Paul Rueben, Selenier, Faber Castell, Pentel and others. I do enjoy the higher "quality" brands, but for some reason I go back to these all the time. When it comes to opacity and "sticking" to the paper, I just love them. The size is what you would expect, the wrapping is similar to mangy pastels. But I love the texture with these. There is just something special about this brand. They are soft but not too soft, not waxy. Blendability, durability of the stick. They dont break in your hand, unless you put too much pressure of course. They are smooth but not too smooth as selenier and paul reubens can be. I am not a professional artist, just enjoy it in my free time. I think this is an amazing brand to start with, for children, and for adults that could be more advanced and want a different experience than the really expensive brands. One more thing, the colors are phenominal. The variety in the bigger sets, but also in the smaller, is incredible. I can not say enough good things about them. I wish everyone knew this secret. One note, just so you know, they do have "crumbs" but nothing like the cheaper brands. I have been using them for over two years.

This set is a total bargain for the quality. The pastels are smooth, soft, and don’t crumble, which makes them a joy to work with. The black is perfect. But let's understand the white. I use the white for blending—it's not super opaque, which might be a downside if you're looking for bright white highlights, but it’s perfect for creating soft, pastel tones and subtle gradients.If you need a bold, pure white for strong highlights, you’ll probably want to pair this with another more opaque white pastel. But for blending and layering, this white delivers beautifully. For how I use it, it’s 5 stars all the way!

High quality oil-based pastels. Wide variety of colors, buildable, bendable, rich. Love this product and will continue using it on a variety of canvases. Love it!

Los compré para tener unos pasteles al óleo básicos y me han sorprendido para bien. Los colores son bonitos y bastante vivos, y se aplican fácilmente sobre papel. Tienen buena pigmentación, sobre todo teniendo en cuenta el precio, y vienen en una caja ordenada que va bien para guardarlos.No son profesionales, pero para empezar o para usarlos en ratos libres están muy bien. Se difuminan con los dedos o con un poco de aceite, y mezclan decentemente entre ellos. El tamaño de cada barra es pequeño, pero suficiente si no los usas a diario.En resumen, si estás empezando con los pasteles al óleo o quieres algo económico para practicar, estos están genial. Calidad más que aceptable por el precio.

I'm very happy with the quality of the pastels as well as the amount of variety in color choices. They are durable and easy to use. The size is a standard size for pastels. The pastels are neatly stored in a nice thick case that will keep them safe and organized, I've been using them for a few months now, and they produce good quality color. The pastels are easy to blend too

First time drawing with oil paste. Fun to play with. Smooth and good colors.

First, i'm using oil pastels, and I wanted to do a base of a sunset or sunrise... This is easily accomplished, and i'm astonished.By the color payoff and blendability.... This is just a small sketch.I have a bigger picture.I would love to accomplish and just the background .. I can definitely see me using this for a finished product, but how light fast are they?Has anyone done any real testing? The blendability in the colors make this a valuable medium to work with, and the price is excellent..... This is something a real artist would sell their painting with? Will this fade after a few months?

Excellent colour variety of oil pastels that are nice to use and offer a soft creamy medium. My kids have lvoed using these for art because the vibrant range of colours make them appealing and fun to use. I am happy for them to use these as they're an affordable option that balances good coverage and blendability with the price point. They draw well to my amateur hand...i certainly couldn't complain that the pastels were inhibiting my drawing ability!

These are quite nice. The presentation is great in the wooden box. The color selection is also excellent. I knew they would be buttery when I picked one up and got a lot of color on my hands. I would classify them somewhere between student and professional. They are very soft and perfect for blending. Probably not the greatest for details but remarkably easy to use.

Bellissimi e super professionali.

Really lovely oil pastels, they lay down beautifully, the pallet is nice, they blend well, and are apparently nontoxic. The price was good too.

10 numara beş yıldız bir pastel seti. Toz pasteller gibi değil yumuşacık ve blend(karışım özelliği) muazzam. Fiyatı da bu kaliteye göre son derece makul. Tavsiye edilir.

Love these oil pastels. Easy to work with - vast number of vibrant and beautiful colors - great price for the quality.
