Mont Marte Extra Soft Oil Pastels 52pc, Assorted Bright Colors, Vibrant and Buttery, Versatile Art Pastels for Blending, Layering & Shading, Ideal for Art, Craft, Coloring and Sketching

I LOVE these affordable, thick and creamy oil pastels. They blend beautifully. I appreciate their ability to steam roll over almost any medium which comes in really handy if you need to "correct" an error made with a permanent paint, ink, pencil etc. This color way includes many shades that other oil pastel sets are missing. I'll continue to buy these as I use them up! One thing to note.....You'll need to spray your work with a fixative to set them, as they remain soft and creamy after application. No big deal.

Love love love them, soft and easy to draw/color with, so many beautiful colors!

Excellent!! My only regret is that i didnt get more. They're creamy, blendable, and decently priced. I love that it has more than one white, too.

Impressed by the high quality of these reasonably priced oil pastels. Super soft and blendable. Haven't exhausted this batch, yet already want more.

These are indeed soft and buttery. However some colors are hit and miss. Some colors are more crumbly when blending and not as saturated. I found this more with the pastel colors. Also the color selection had lots of pastel hues but not as many greens, browns, reds and yellows. Prob would be great for florals but for fruit and landscapes , not so much

These worked amazing!! Super super soft and creamy. Blends beautifully. Almost too soft when it comes to making small details just beware but these are wonderful.

After hours of research, I decided to get these over other sets because I wanted soft, blendable pastels with a gorgeous color range and without an odor. They absolutely delivered. Really beautiful presentation and packaging. Dreamy and incredibly creamy colors that blend smoothly. Perfect for thicker impasto and impressionist styles which I was going for. I could not be more satisfied. I love them and I had the most fun I’ve had making art in years. Truly impressed. These are amazing value.

{mixed media in my sketchbook; the ladybug and left leaves were created with these oil pastels} They almost seem too good to be true at this price. I almost didn’t order them because I was skeptical; they were in my cart for weeks. But I finally decided to take the chance, and I’m glad I did. The tradeoff is that they smell like cheap lipstick. The colors are vibrant and they are opaque (except for the neons). When I opened the box, there were a few that were jumbled around in the lower tray. None were broken or missing. They’re so soft that they did smudge each other a bit - but that’s nothing a paper towel can’t fix. These pastels blend like a dream. Did I say that already? It’s worth saying twice. In fact, here’s once more for good measure. They. Blend. Like. A. Dream. Bonus points for the color selection. I have the 120 Mungyo Gallery artist’s extra soft pastels too, and this set of Mont Marte ones fill the color gaps really nicely. Especially in the pastel colors which is great for highlights. Normally I don’t like metallic or pearls, which Mr. Marte must have been aware of, as there are only three in this set. A pearl white, silver, and gold, and the gold is *incredible*. Overall, i think the only thing that rats them out as a lower price brand is the wrapper on the sticks. Some are a bit loose or unevenly pasted. Nothing that affects the art, just a small annoyance. I haven’t looked into lightfastness ratings, which I know is a concern for a few people out there. If you’re a professional artist who sells your work, this is something you might want to test or write an email to them to ask. I’m really glad I decided to buy these pastels. I’m really enjoying them. The lipstick smell does seem to fade over time, or maybe I am becoming blind to it. At any rate: they’re worth it. And in case I failed to mention — they blend like a dream.

Me encantan , son súper cremosos y deslizan muy bien la punta , cuando los gaste repetiré a la caja más grande 😍

Très bon rapport qualité prix.

Pastelli di qualità ottima per il prezzo! Quantità 52, molto vibranti e facilmente sfumabili. Ottimo avere 5 copie del bianco. Mi sto trovando molto bene e sono sicuro in futuro userò di nuovo questa marca. Adatta a studenti d’arte e lavori di qualità

Hele fijne pastels!

Awesome oil pastels. Soft & creamy, easy blendable. I loved it. Must buy for artists (both beginners & professionals). Go for it.
