When using the oil pastel, you need to use a little more strength, so that the oil pastel will be attached to the paper, which is convenient for coloring. 2. The oil pastel has good coverage, so if you use the wrong color, you can cover it with the correct color oil pastel, or use a scraper, painting knife or other tools to remove it. 3. When using oil pastels of different colors alternately, be careful not to mix other colors on the oil pastel, it may cause the picture will look messy, in order to avoid uneven color mixing, if other colors are stuck, you can erase them with paper and paint them again. 4. The mud rubbing is normal, the harder oil pastels are easier to rub mud. You can wipe the mud off with your hands or tools, or remove them if you need them. 5. The edge of the oil pastel can be used to outline lines.

Each Paul Rubens oil pastel has a creamy texture which makes it easy to apply and blend.

Review: Excellent! - If you're looking for a premium set of oil pastels, the Paul Rubens Haiya Set 60 is definitely worth considering! The pastels are soft, blend beautifully, and are highly pigmented, making them a joy to work with. I’ve got the 60-colour set, which comes with a handy colour leaflet and swatch card (check out the photos). Each pastel has important details printed right on the wrapper: lightfastness, pigment composition, and opacity rating. It's a great feature, though I’d love to see this info added to the leaflet next to each colour for easier reference. One minor note: the colour code and name are printed on each pastel wrapper, but there’s a slight inconsistency in where they appear—some are on the top, and some are on the bottom (see pics). I'd recommend swatching all the colours first, as you might lose some of this info if the wrappers are removed. Overall, a fantastic set for both beginners and pros! ⭐️ Review: Easy to use and blend beautifully. - Love these oil pastels so creamy and easy to blend, I'm very new to pastels but find them a joy to work with have tried some other brands but like these the best, great selection of colours in the box , good value for money. ## Features - 🎨LAERGE BLACK OIL PASTELS: Black oil pastel can help the other colors oil pastels mixing better and more normal, making the picture brighter, and add highlight for the picture.A large black oil pastel is equivalent to 7 small black oil pastels - 🎨 FEEL SOFTER, BETTER PAINTING EXPERIENCE: The oil pastels are very soft, and make much smoother blends without the pilling, suitable for blending and scraper techniques.

Perhaps they are hand packed and that's why they were so dirty. I'm not sure. What makes me a bit suspicious about if they were used, is the fact that some of the tips of the pastels looked used, smooshed in, or smaller than the others. Also, I'd say about 15% of the pastels I received were slick with oil even on the outside wrapper. It was so much oil it had visibly seeped onto edges of the plastic storage it comes in. Anyways, onto the review based on my initial color swatches. For the most part, I'd say at least 80% of the pastels have a very consistent smooth texture when laying down. Another 10% are very soft, verging on the texture of butter. And the last 10% are extremely gummy and hard to lay down. I suspect this is kind of normal considering different pigments require different binder ratios. My observations of gummy pastels are: 030 Red Deep 008 Bourdeaux (almost unusable it's so gummy) 222 Phthalo Blue 237 Ultramarine 080 Indigo Light 219 Celestial Blue 042 Cinnabar Yellow Light (hard to use because so gummy) 086 Phthalo Green Light 045 Green Medium (I consider this one utterly useless because it is so gummy--see the attached picture) That being said, most of these can either be mixed or have a color so close to it that you don't really need the gummy ones. I would say the exception is perhaps Bordeaux, which was a very pretty magenta leaning purple color. With these exceptions notwithstanding, the pastels have a lovely texture and make few crumbs. Other than receiving what looks like a used box of pastels, I consider these pretty high quality especially given the value for money for a set of 72. I bought them on sale, and I think it's worth it to keep a look out for that sale when possible. The white is beautifully creamy and opaque. I really love some of the more muted colors like rose ochre, violet ochre, grey green, blue grey, reddish brown grey, and charcoal. I could see this set being perfect for landscape, especially seascapes. Both are my subject of choice, so I am looking forward to giving them a very good go. I like using a more limited palette, so may narrow my color choices down to a smaller set of the best performing and most-used colors over time. Starting with 72 colors allows this to be possible! I may update this review after trying a few pieces and testing their layer-ability, color mixing both optically and with blending, how they do on thick paper vs. when it's gessoed (does the oil bleed through the non-gessoed paper? is gesso even necessary), how they do being oiled down with Zest-it clear painting medium, how they do with sgraffito techniques, and how they set up (how dry do they get? do they smear to the next page of my sketchbook easily or do they mostly stay put?). ## Frequently Bought Together - Paul Rubens Grand Black Oil Pastels, Pack of 1 HaiYa Artist Soft Oil Pastels Vibrant and Creamy, Art Supplies for Artists, Beginners, Students, Kids Art Painting Drawing - Paul Rubens 6 Pcs White Oil Pastel Set, Specially for Mixing with Other Colour Oil Pastels, Suitable for Painting Clouds and Waves, etc. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/542243670-paul-rubens-grand-black-oil-pastels-pack-of-1-haiya](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/542243670-paul-rubens-grand-black-oil-pastels-pack-of-1-haiya) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-09-01*
