Artecho Neon Oil Pastels Set of 12 Colors (10 x 70 mm) | Soft Oil Pastels, For Art Painting, Drawing, Blending, For Artists, Beginners, Students, Teachers

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.

They’re pretty vibrant! They seem to blend well with the other brand I have (Faber-castle which is a little less quality) obviously there’s only so much pigment that can come through but over all they layer and blend well. I use them to create more color depth

Bright, beautiful, and easy to use. I’ve already bought twice, and I’ll buy again in the future

Does not show well on black paper! Shows beautifully on light colored paper though.

Great colors, pretty easy to blend (from this beginner) all in all well worth the money and I sure am having fun! Have fun coloring!!!

I was pleasantly surprised about the quality of this product. The Pastels are soft and easy to work with. They are a good value for the money.

I am an Activity Director. Easy to use for residents with grasping issues. Would like to see a wider range of colors.

OK, so I've been loving using oil pastels so I try to buy different brands to see which brand I like best. The colors are great in this brand. They are just what I wanted for colors. But the downside is they don't do well on top of painted papers. That's how I use all my oil pastels on top of painted papers. If I can edit this review at a later time I will update this and let you know how these work on just plain paper. I rated it with 2 stars because the colors are just what I wanted but the product itself isn't that great.

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

Wir haben sie zum Kerzen tauchen genutzt. Tolles Ergebnis!

Os miúdos adoram

Accettabili per bambini, ma sono poco pigmentati e un po’ duri

Pensé que iba a pigmentar mucho más y tuve que ayudarme de mis ceras oil pentel. No soy profesional,que conste,seguiré probando por si fuese el papel,no lo sé. No me gustaron mucho.
