Camel Artist Oil Pastels 50 shades

Most of the colours were broken and damaged!

At this price, this is literally the best artists' quality oil pastels you can get. It's cheap you can paint to your heart's content and keep practicing without worrying about "wasting" money. The pastels mix well and the colours are bright and varied. I have used mod podge as a fixer coating on these so that the oil pastels don't spread or get muddied while handling. I have used a 100 GSM paper meant for regular drawing, so the true potential of the colors can't be seen in the pictures I've added. I'm also completely new to oil pastels, so all the issues you see with bad mixing of colors or shading is on me, and not the precious pastels!! If art gives you joy and you're looking to try oil pastels, don't hesitate to buy these!!! Money well spent, and will definitely spend again on this!!! P.S. The item was shipped to me in a good state, everything was fresh and unbroken.

Love the Pastels , just a pity they keep coming with damaged boxes!

Very happy with the pastels. Decided to try oil pastel painting after watching Art Arena on Facebook. These gave me the results I wanted, following along with the videos. Blends very well. Just have to remember to keep the pressure consistent. BTW, if you decide to check him out, try the YouTube channel. Can slow down the playback.

Simply awesome!! Has an intense buttery feeling when applying. Colours are highly pigmented compared to the student grade oil pastels from Camlin. The sticks are chunky/large and bigger than the students grade. Although I have never used any other brands of oil pastels besides Camlin, I can definitely say this is a great product and can surely compete with foreign expensive brands. Camlin gives us artists quality products at a very affordable price which are quite competetive in quality with US and European brands. At this price, I had nothing to loose except gain an awesome product!! At least I can say that for Oil Pastels, Soft Pastels and Water Colours because I use all of these. I might try Pentel at a later point in time but for now I am really happy that I purchased this. Thanks Amazon for timely delivery and iron-clad packaging.

Smooth colours and good saturation. Great for potraits and still life. Gives vibrant results.
