Pentel Oil Pastels - Set 36 | Mixed PHN4-36

Great oil pastels as I'm a beginner. Blend easily and lots of texture. Very small but I don't mind as I have small hands.

Here I uploaded a photo of Pentel on the left side it is Pentel that smells too strong and does not mix well it is very difficult without using some medium on the right side it is mungyo which are more expensive but they are worth l Shame they are like butter. But Pentel has a strong smell that gives me a headache I don't think they are toxic but if they smell bad I think using some linseed oil might improve Later I will upload another review using oil Ok My review update. On a suitable paper such as the Pentel watercolor 300 gram mixed arts canson it is much better there. Before I had done it on a smoother paper and it was not Such a good result but now it is much better. And the smell disappeared. I think you have to leave the box open for two or three days for the strong smell to disappear. For the price and the colors I like it and It is a good product and I recommend it to practice as much as possible. There my drawing with penten not yet finished of the blue woman. I made the butterfly with penten but I used a few drops of linseed oil And wonderfully! I highly recommend it!

Recently purchased these oil pastels, and they are a pretty standard, student-quality option. While there is a noticeable petrol-like smell to them and they are on the harder side, they are a fantastic, budget-friendly alternative to my expensive Senneliers. These pastels are especially useful for filling out backgrounds or creating underlayers in my pastel paintings. The large selection of colors is also great and makes it convenient to have a variety of shades at my disposal. The price point is fantastic for what you get. If you're looking for something cheap and easy to use, or if you want to be free to experiment without worrying about the cost, these oil pastels are a solid choice. They might not replace high-end brands for detailed work, but they are perfect for practice and more relaxed projects. Highly recommend for anyone needing an affordable and versatile option for their pastel work!

brilliant although smells horrid like petrol but it’s manageable very smooth!

Lovely. I’ve never used oil pastels before and I love using them. I used oil paints before and can be quite messy but I find these ones easy to use. I bought a really good quality oil pastels and happy, happy, happy.

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.

Good quality oil pastels. Easy to use they’re quite creamy and mix easy. Not top notch but good for the price.

These were a bargain price, and Pentel say that the colours won’t fade, which is a large part of why I bought them. There is a good selection of colours and they are pleasing to use, they feel firm yet soft enough. They smell of engine oil which is a little off putting. They do not layer well, (for example if you try using a light colour on top of a dark colour, it won’t show). The expensive brands would layer, so if you are a professional artist or illustrator you probably want to get Sennelier or Caran d’ache brand. They are fine for sketch book work or for people just starting out. They don’t make a lot of crumbs when used, which is good. I find the crumbs that come off cheap oil pastels can be annoying as they can end up stuck everywhere making annoying smudges. The colours blend easily, you can just use a finger. I won’t make any actual art works with these, but they are okay for preliminary sketches when I don’t want to use up my expensive materials.

Ho acquistato questo set di pastelli ad olio dopo aver letto le tantissime recensioni positive, diciamo che sono praticamente andata sul sicuro e le mie aspettative non sono rimaste deluse. I pastelli sono lunghi circa 6 cm, ognuno avvolto da un'etichetta protettiva completa di numero identificativo e nome del colore. La confezione è rigida, con un coperchio di plastica trasparente e ogni pastello è alloggiato in scompartimenti singoli, in questo modo non si muovono e il rischio che si possano rompere è minimo. Sono davvero molto morbidi e pastosi, si miscelano molto facilmente anche con il dito e i colori sono tantissimi, molte sfumature sono simili ma questo, secondo me, è positivo, anche perché si può passare da una gradazione all'altra in modo più graduale e naturale. I colori sono : N° 33 OCHRE N° 6 YELLOW OCHRE N° 7 PALE BROWN N° 92 VIOLET N° 13 PURPLE N° 40 HYACINT VIOLET N° 20 OLD ROSE N° 11 RED N° 38 CRIMSON LAKE N° 37 SCARLET N° 1O VERMILION N° 39 ROSE MADDER N° 15 PINK N° 35 PALE VERMILION N° 36 SALMON PINK N° 4 PALE ORANGE N° 34 PALE ORANGE LIGHT N° 3 ORANGE N° 2 YELLOW ORANGE N° 5 CHROME YELLOW N° 12 YELLOW N° 1 LEMON YELLOW N° 31 NAPLES YELLOW N° 8 BROWN N° 27 DARK CARMINE N° 45 INDIAN RED N° 9 WANDYKE BROWN N° 55 PALE GREEN N° 17 YELLOW GREEN N° 53 OLIVE GREEN N° 21 GREEN N° 16 BLUE GREEN N° 19 GREEN DAY N° 22 DEEP GREEN N° 57 DARK GREEN N° 14 PALE BROWN N° 51 BLUE N° 23 COBALT BLUE N° 52 ULTRAMARINE LIGHT N° 25 ULTRAMARINE N° 54 PRUSSIAN BLUE LIGHT N° 24 PRUSSIAN BLUE N° 46 YELLOW GREY N° 47 LIGHT GREY N° 26 GREY N° 49 DEEP GREY N° 48 DARK GREY N° 28 BLACK N° 29 WHITE (2 PZ) Ho allegato tra le mie foto le immagini dei colori e relativi nomi, così potrete rendervi conto meglio delle gradazioni. L'unico appunto che potrei fare , a cercare il pelo nell'uovo, è il forte odore che si sente appena aperta la scatola, davvero molto intenso, spero che scompaia con il tempo, magari lasciando il coperchio aperto per qualche giorno, comunque non è un problema così rilevante da farmi cambiare idea su questi pastelli, per un prezzo così conveniente non mi sarei aspettata tanto, una cosa è leggere le recensioni positive, un'altra poter toccare con mano e constatare l'effettiva qualità di un prodotto. Acquisterò certamente altri articoli di questo brand, assolutamente consigliati!

Great oil pastels, they are low oder and work very nice.

Visst, sådana kritor behöver man också. Många nyttiga nyanser i min smak. Bra värde för priset. Behändig liten ask.
