Arrtx Artist Oil Pastels 48 Colors Set, Soft Oil Pastel Vibrant and Creamy, Professional Oil Pastel Crayons Set Art Supplies for Artist and Beginners

I am a beginner to oil pastels so this is definitely not a professional opinion, but these are absolutely lovely! I have a set of Mungyo Art Gallery oil pastels that I like, but they’re a bit too hard and crumbly for my liking. I wanted a set of oil pastels that were soft enough to look like I had made a piece with oil paints and these Arrtx ones fit the bill! They leave a nice, painterly texture without very many crumbs and blend beautifully, I highly recommend these if you’re looking for softer pastels!

I've been using these soft oil pastels by Arrtx as accents on watercolor, gauche, and acrylic paints and they are perfect. I prefer to smooth most of my marks with a blending tool after application. They are so readily blendable you can make any shade of gray with the black & white pastels, impressive!Their consistency is perhaps like a cold stick of butter, solid, but readily transfers to the surface and will thicken if you repeat application or apply another color on top. The colors are pure and bright, nice intensity, fully opaque.I'm really enjoying experimenting with them on my paintings, may attempt a piece with only the pastels; I would definitely purchase again.

Beautiful oil pastels. They application is like butter - do smooth. Vibrant colors and good selection.

Excellent oil pastel! Soft and creamy, easy to work with! One of my favorite now! Strongly recommend.

These are very soft and creamy and are a nice addition to my oil pastel collection.

I love the softness and creaminess of the oil pastels and the colors are solid, bright, easy to blend and can be used on most papers. Great for any arts especially abstract. The pastels in the piece dry within hours and the artwork can be stored.

I was pleasantly surprised. I used them right away and loved them! I highly recommend for the price!

fun to use, very very soft. good for final layer
