Artecho Oil Pastels Set of 24 Colors, Soft Oil Pastels for Art Painting, Drawing, Blending, Oil Crayons Pastels Art Supplies for Artists, Beginners, Students, Teachers

I ordered the 72 set for just over £12. They arrived today, so I thought I’d try them out. I am quite simply amazed. The colours are lovely: there are a few garish primaries, but overall there’s a great selection. I worked on Fabriano pastel paper and found that they lay down and blended really well. Also, because they’re not too soft, it’s possible to achieve some detail. Opacity is good. These are easy to use and great value for money. They were dropped through the letterbox by the delivery driver, but survived that ordeal, so I think they’ll last well. My go-to brands are Meeden and Sennelier, but I’m delighted with these. The box claims they’re light fast, but only time will tell. I’m not a great artist, so these could well become my go-to oil pastels.

Really impressed with the great choice of colors in these Pastels, especially given the very reasonable price. Haven't used yet but am looking forward to as they seem a good texture, easy to hold, aren't the biggest but perfectly adequate for most I'd think. It's a really lovely box & would consider a nice gift for anyone interested in art.

The most buttery blendable beautiful pastels ever! 100 percent recommend these.

A while ago purchased the Artecho Oil Pastels Set of 24 Colors for my art projects, and overall, I found them to be an excellent option for painting, drawing, and blending. While they can be a bit messy to work with, the quality and vibrant colours make up for it. One of this set's standout features is its wide range of 24 colours. The colours are vibrant, rich, and blendable, allowing for beautiful artistic creations. The soft texture of the oil pastels makes them easy to work with, enabling smooth application and layering of colours. I appreciate the versatility of these oil pastels, as they can be used for various artistic techniques. Whether you're painting, drawing, or blending, they deliver satisfactory results. They work well on different surfaces, including paper, canvas, and even wood, expanding the possibilities for artistic expression. However, it's important to note that working with oil pastels can be messy. They tend to transfer colour onto your hands and can smudge easily. It is advisable to use protective gloves or work on a surface that can be easily cleaned. Despite the messiness, the vibrant colours and the quality of the pastels make the experience worth it. Another positive aspect of the Artecho Oil Pastels is their durability. The pastels are well-constructed and do not break easily, even with regular use. This ensures you can enjoy the set for an extended period without worrying about constant replacements. In terms of value for money, the Artecho Oil Pastels Set offers a reasonable price for the quality and variety of colours provided. It is suitable for beginners and artists experimenting with oil pastels without investing in a high-end set. The Artecho Oil Pastels Set of 24 Colors is a solid option for art painting, drawing, and blending. The vibrant colours, soft texture, and versatility make them enjoyable to work with, despite the messiness involved. They offer good durability and represent good value for money. If you don't mind the potential for a bit of mess, these oil pastels can be a valuable addition to your artistic toolkit.

I’ve had so much enjoyment out of these - bought these as a complete novice to oil pastels and have had so much joy using them - I do think that there’s an argument for having 2 white sticks, but that would be nitpicking. By the time you’ve used these up, you’re ready to move on to the Meeden brand, but these are a great introduction as they blend well and are great value

Vibrant and blendable. I am really enjoying using these. I’ve not used expensive brands so can’t compare but these do every Hung I Ned them to do and came nicely packaged

These are very good. Get some getting used to asntheybare not pointed for fine detailed work. I did but the proper coloured pastel pencils as I needed a good white ( notbfrom this seller) but they were not good so had to use some acrylic paint for some of the finer parts. All in all.a good kit! This is my first try with these and first time doing a cat

It's the perfect set for the price. It does smudge but it gives vibrant colours to the painting.

I purchased the MontMarte set of Fluoroscent pastels as well, which were my first choice but added these simply because of the ratings and super low price. When they arrived I opened each and swatched them on 70 lb sketch paper. - interestingly, while the outer packaging/boxes were different (MontMarte had thinner, end flap opening, while the Artecho had thicker quality bottom and top lid construction), their trays (texture and cutouts) as well as the clear plastic tray lids (cutouts and texture, ridges, etc) were exactly the same! I feel they’re made by the same company! - The colors in the sets were exactly the same. - The texture was nearly the same….micro-differences, where the MontMarte set felt slightly creamier…I think? - In both sets the neon yellow was the highest density and quality. - All the others had a general translucency which I expected anyway, they’re Fluorescent, after all. (You’re not going to get lightfastness or high quality, etc.). Even if you try to build up layers. I wanted these for mixed media, so that’s ok for me. - There appears to be very slightly more pigment load (ahem, if you could call it that in these types of pastels) in the Montmarte but for me not enough to pay more should I buy again. -ever so slight better blendability between two colors with the MontMarte, but that is dependent on how similar in value the two are. Two rectangles of light and dark value placed end to end on paper in both brands leaves telltale marks of where each value originally was laid down when I tried to blend the middle between them. Not so much when the rectangles were two lights or two darks, and slightly better with MontMarte…slightly. - For slightly more than half price I’d go with Artecho. Once I work more with both and do ‘real world work’ with them I’ll change or update this IF it needs to be.

Die BESTEN!! Ich habe erst vor 1 1/2 Monaten mit Öl-Pastell Kreide angefangen zu malen. Davor NUR mit Kohle und Bleistift. Ich LIEBE diese Stifte und habe mir von der Firma auch noch die „Metalle“, „fluoreszieren“, „schwarz-weiß“ und zu guter letzt noch den 120er Holzkasten gekauft!!! Mit Übung (und auch ein bisschen Talent), kann man immer wieder neue Methoden ausprobieren und entwickeln. Ich kann ohne meine Öl-Pastell Kreiden nicht mehr einen einzigen Tag überstehen! Absolut top!! Hier ein paar Bilder der letzten Wochen von mir.

Nie kryją. Nie tego oczekiwałam. Kolory ładne, szkoda.

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.
