Faber-CastellCreative Studio Oil Pastel Crayons - 36 Vibrant Colors

I had went to our local craft store and came home with a very very hard crayon like set of pastels that were just impossible to work with, after reading online went back and purchased "soft pastels" which turned out to be Chalk pastels when i got home with them, and it seems thats all that our local craft store sells, so i decided to order this set based on the good reviews here just hoping it was what i was looking for. These are pretty decent oil pastels for the price, a lot better tahn anything i found at our Hobby Lobby. Blending is decent and for me as a beginner these are pretty good!

I bought this box of oil pastels for my son, who loves art and coloring. Crayons and colored pencils are nice, but they don't have the same richness and blendability as pastels.He was delighted to receive them, and has used them a dozen time in a month. These are top quality pastels - not crumbly or dry. The colors range from soft to vivid, and the 36 colors in this box are plenty to choose from.I recommend these for anyone who wants to buy good quality art products. The price was reasonable for the quality we received.

These are a steal for the price.

I’m not a professional artist and have only used two other brands of oil pastels but these are my favorite

These are good oil pastels sticks. I don't have a lot of experience with oil pastel sticks, but I had a box of old sticks (didn't know they were probably old when I got them) and I thought it was just a difficult medium to work with. I wanted more color options so I bought these. Wow what a difference, really fun to work with, colors very nice from vibrant to subtle. Will enjoy more projects and experiment more with this medium now.

I bought this set about two years ago. My reasoning was that Faber Castell was a well-known art brand that makes good quality materials, therefore, their oil pastels would be better than Mungyo Gallery Oil Pastels, which I kept seeing pop up. Please don't get this. They are dry. They do not blend. Get Mungyo Gallery. Cheaper, Blends, and feels like butter, while these feel crusty. Since getting Mungyo Oil pastels, I have not touched this set. It's 10x better. Even when I first opened the case, you could see a difference. This set looked dry, while the Mungyo ones looked moisturized.

these are close to the Myung. still creamy, smooth, vibrant, blendable. a little more crumble but not bad. i would give them just below the Myung in comparison.recommend for just home use not professional. .

I use these for my multi media/watercolor online art classes. They are good quality and the colors are great.
