Pentel Arts Oil Pastels Set - 16 Vibrant Colors

Awesome pastels for the price, I ordered these and the sakura expressionist. I prefer sakura they're a little smoother imo. Colors are great and vibrant, blend ok but not as good as sakura. Slight diesel smell but not overwhelming. Great backup for my uses. Will buy again.

They feel and look more like crayons than oil pastels. Hard to blend.

love

Great quality and price

Muy buenas condiciones

Surprisingly soft and bright for the low price. Especially the white covers very well. If you want to play around and even use some colors in more involved work, try these. Some colors work very well, a few are more waxy, but still , the price is so low, it doesn't matter much. .

It's good to be pleasantly surprised. I already owned a set of 25 Pentel oil pastels which were okay and since I only use the student grade for studies had decided that the 50 set was good value for so many colours. (It's a no-brainer when you compare costs with a premium artists brand unless you intend to make finished pieces. )I found the 50 set, which is made in Thailand, to be better quality than the 25 set, that was made in Taiwan. They are smoother,easier to blend, crumb less and are more highly pigmented than my other set is. There is a good range of greens, yellows, earths and greys which suit landscape painters like me. They are small though -roughly half the size of other student ones - and the dark shades are hard to identify since the name is printed in black onto the colour on the label, which makes making your own colour chart essential. If you haven't used them before do assume that they will indelibly stain fabrics and light surfaces and go everywhere.Of course these don't compare to the premium brands in size or light fastness. But they work really well on black paper where scraping back is fun, as well as on more conventional colours, make an interesting addition to mixed media and are fun to mess around with.(See photo - with apologies to C.R.Mackintosh.)The low cost and relatively high quality of these oil pastels makes them eminently suitable for kids, beginners and anyone who wants to try them as an extra medium without spending a lot.

🖼️ Pentel🖼️ OIL PASTELS🖼️ Ref : PHN-50ooOoo‘Made in Thailand’From the back of the box (multi-lingual):‘Pastels apply smoothly and blend easily for subtle shades, tints and colour mixtures.Ideal for most types of paper, as well as canvas, oil and acrylic boards.'ooOooThis is a neat set of 50 x OIL PASTEL STICKs.The cellophane-wrapped, cardboard box measures around 25.5 cm x 16 cm x 1.5 cm and has two transparent strips on the front showing the tips of the various colours of the sticks contained within. Once unwrapped, the cardboard base slides out of the sleeve, where the sticks are on an inner plastic-type tray, protected by a lift-off, transparent, plastic-type cover.A strange odour is quite noticeable once the box is open which might not appeal to all. This transfers to fingers with the inevitable residue, but is easy to wash off with soap & water ~ even the darker colours ~ and I protect my work surface before I start, if the going is likely to get very messy!In two rows of 25 formation, starting with WHITE running through to BLACK with a variety of shades of colour in between, each stick measures around 8 mm in diameter and stands around 6 cm tall.The COLOUR CODE NUMBER & COLOUR NAME are at the bottom of the paper wrapper.The colours in my pack are (1 of each):COLOUR CODE/COLOUR🌿 NAPLES YELLOW : 31🌿 LEMON YELLOW : 1🌿 CHROME YELLOW : 5🌿 YELLOW : 12🌿 YELLOW ORANGE : 2🌿 ORANGE : 3🌿 PALE ORANGE LIGHT : 34🌿 PALE ORANGE : 4🌿 SALMON PINK : 36🌿 PALE VERMILION : 35🌿 PINK : 15🌿 ROSE MADDER : 39🌿 VERMILION : 10🌿 SCARLET : 37🌿 CRIMSON LAKE : 38🌿 RED : 11🌿 OLD ROSE : 20🌿 HYACINTH VIOLET : 40🌿 PURPLE : 13🌿 VIOLET : 92🌿 PALE BROWN : 7🌿 YELLOW OCHRE : 6🌿 OCHRE : 33🌿 BROWN : 8🌿 DARK CARMINE : 27🌿 INDIAN RED : 45🌿 VANDYKE BROWN : 9🌿 PALE GREEN : 55🌿 YELLOW GREEN : 17🌿 OLIVE GREEN : 53🌿 GREEN : 21🌿 GREEN GRAY : 19🌿 BLUE GREEN : 16🌿 DEEP GREEN : 22🌿 DARK GREEN : 57🌿 PALE BLUE : 14🌿 BLUE : 51🌿 COBALT BLUE : 23🌿 ULTRAMARINE LIGHT : 52🌿 ULTRAMARINE : 25🌿 PRUSSIAN BLUE LIGHT : 54🌿 PRUSSIAN BLUE : 24🌿 YELLOW GRAY : 46🌿 LIGHT GRAY : 47🌿 GRAY : 26🌿 DEEP GRAY : 49🌿 DARK GRAY : 48🌿 BLACK : 28along with : 🌿 WHITE : 29 (x 2 supplied)...but it should be noted that the right to replace a colour is reserved, if necessary.In use, these are a creamy texture and the bright colours are rich & vivid, although the paler colours still lay down a good layer of colour, with little pressure. In my experience, they do leave some residue on the paper, the amount depending on the texture, which can be hard to remove without leaving a mark or a smudge.They are quite narrow sticks, so some care needs to be taken not to snap the stick if too heavy handed, but others turn this to their advantage. I have been generally amazed by the skill of others, via various online tips & clips, particularly the brilliant one-minute, ‘Pentel’ demonstration video:👁️ ‘Drawing an eye using oil pastels’Certainly drawing my eye...it is way too fast for me...but a standard to aspire to has truly been set!Other size sets of Pentel OIL PASTEL STICKS currently available include: 12 16 25 36 [20 images attached] 12162536

While these are great value for money: you get an amazing array of bright colours for little cost, they do have a few problems. (See update below.)They are wonderfully pigmented pastels with a rubbery texture. Because of this texture they're best used in conjunction with some oilier pastels (I've been using an old set of Bolmere oil pastels) to create a more oil-painting-like feeling while working. They would also work well with odourless minerals spirits or baby oil.The size makes them just a little uncomfortable to hold, but I soon got used to this. I doubt very much that these are lightfast but they are useful for student work.At this price you've nothing to lose by adding them to your oil pastels, but I wouldn't advise making these your one and only set.UPDATE: The more I use these, the more I like them. If used in a warm room they become very creamy and luscious and the oil pastel can be put down almost like paint. The smaller size encourages me to hold them in a way which produces broad painterly strokes. I have therefore altered the rating.

J'ai fait le choix de débuter avec des Sennelier, pour faire des portraits (je vais donc comparer ce que je connais), alors la question que vous devez vous poser est : qu'est-ce que je veux faire de mes pastels ? Celles-ci (Pentel) sont assez moyennes pour faire du détail. En fait, après n'avoir connu que Sennelier j'ai trouvé que les Pentel étaient un hybride entre des pastels à l'huile et des pastels secs. Ils ne sont pas crémeux et font des miettes quand on appuie dessus. Mais l'avantage est que le résultat est sec : vous pouvez passer votre main légèrement sur votre dessin sans que la couleur ne reste sur vos doigts (impossible avec les Sennelier). Les mélanges de couleurs ("blending") sont en conséquence un peu moins faciles à faire quoiqu'avec de la patience vous y arrivez. La dilution à l'essence de thérébentine est par contre meilleure avec les Pentel. Sur les photos, les dessins des yeux sont réalisés sans estompe autre que les pastels eux-mêmes, ni essence. Notez que certaines couleurs sont absentes comme le marron foncé (il faudra faire des mélanges). Si vous voulez faire des détails avec des couleurs qui se mélangent facilement sans essence, vous allez vous compliquer la vie avec les Pentel. Évidemment, n'oubliez pas que les Pentel sont 10 fois moins chères que les Sennelier (2 cas "extrêmes") : à 11,55 € la boîte vous prenez peu de risques.

No suelo ser crítico con las opiniones de los demás, pero es una pena ver algunas reseñas hablando mal de un producto, cuando no tienen ni idea de usarlo. No son ceras, casi todos las llaman así, son pasteles al óleo, pigmento, aglutinante y aceite, algunas marcas utilizan pequeñas cantidades de cera en su composición. Hay otras marcas que los venden como pasteles al óleo y son más ceras de toda la vida que pasteles al óleo, pero se deben llamar por su nombre, PASTELES AL ÓLEO, usar el nombre de ceras induce a mala interpretación de quien no conoce sobre el tema, sobre todo de papás que compran para sus hijos pequeños para la escuela, por ejemplo.Hice esta compra por probar nuevo material y encandilado por el precio y la cantidad de colores que vienen y puedo decir que después de probarlos me han parecido muy buenos, incluso pintando encima de otros pasteles de otras marcas más cerosas, la cera al ser más dura y poco difuminable no se mueve y el color de estos pasteles lo cubre y si das sutilmente creas un efecto de transparencia muy hermoso con los dos colores. Directamente cuesta un poco difuminarlos con los dedos, más si tu piel es seca, pero te mancha sutilmente la yema con aceite para bebés y difuminan increíblemente. Los dedos los manchan ligeramente porque tienen mucho pigmento, al no ser cerosos tienen este “handicap” nada que no se solucione con una tohallita húmeda. Los estoy utilizando sobre lienzo y queda casi, por no decir igual que si fuera pintura al óleo tradicional. Son un poco pequeñas, pero al tener mucho poder cubrir té y color se utiliza poca cantidad de cada barrita.El pedido me llegó al día siguiente de pedirlo en un sobre acolchado con plástico de burbujitas y en perfecto estado.La compra perfecta en relación calidad y precio.Y por favor, reseñar sabiendo lo que se dice, no hablar por hablar, a veces queremos parecer más inteligentes con ellos y acaba siendo el efecto contrario.
