Pentel PHN4-50 Oil Pastels - Pack of 50

Good quality oil pastels. Easy to use they’re quite creamy and mix easy. Not top notch but good for the price.

I heard some really bad reviews of these pack of oil pastels, so I thought I would give them a try and see it for myself. The price is great for a set of 50. I wanted to have oil pastels that are harder than my previous set for easier control and detail work, this set gives great control for beginners due to its hardness. It is hard to blend or smudge which could be a disadvantage for some, however, it becomes workable with a brush and the addition of a drop of baby oil, and the colours blended and layered well. They did not create an excess of crumbs, blobs that would have muddied up the work. The only downside is that it smells like machine oil or like a garage, however the addition of the baby oil cancelled the odour out while working with the pastels. Overall, it is a great addition to my tool box.

Recently purchased these oil pastels, and they are a pretty standard, student-quality option. While there is a noticeable petrol-like smell to them and they are on the harder side, they are a fantastic, budget-friendly alternative to my expensive Senneliers. These pastels are especially useful for filling out backgrounds or creating underlayers in my pastel paintings. The large selection of colors is also great and makes it convenient to have a variety of shades at my disposal. The price point is fantastic for what you get. If you're looking for something cheap and easy to use, or if you want to be free to experiment without worrying about the cost, these oil pastels are a solid choice. They might not replace high-end brands for detailed work, but they are perfect for practice and more relaxed projects. Highly recommend for anyone needing an affordable and versatile option for their pastel work!

It's good to be pleasantly surprised. I already owned a set of 25 Pentel oil pastels which were okay and since I only use the student grade for studies had decided that the 50 set was good value for so many colours. (It's a no-brainer when you compare costs with a premium artists brand unless you intend to make finished pieces. ) I found the 50 set, which is made in Thailand, to be better quality than the 25 set, that was made in Taiwan. They are smoother,easier to blend, crumb less and are more highly pigmented than my other set is. There is a good range of greens, yellows, earths and greys which suit landscape painters like me. They are small though -roughly half the size of other student ones - and the dark shades are hard to identify since the name is printed in black onto the colour on the label, which makes making your own colour chart essential. If you haven't used them before do assume that they will indelibly stain fabrics and light surfaces and go everywhere. Of course these don't compare to the premium brands in size or light fastness. But they work really well on black paper where scraping back is fun, as well as on more conventional colours, make an interesting addition to mixed media and are fun to mess around with.(See photo - with apologies to C.R.Mackintosh.) The low cost and relatively high quality of these oil pastels makes them eminently suitable for kids, beginners and anyone who wants to try them as an extra medium without spending a lot.

Lovely. I’ve never used oil pastels before and I love using them. I used oil paints before and can be quite messy but I find these ones easy to use. I bought a really good quality oil pastels and happy, happy, happy.

Excellent oil pastels. Good intense colours which blend well.

Good value for good quality

Here I uploaded a photo of Pentel on the left side it is Pentel that smells too strong and does not mix well it is very difficult without using some medium on the right side it is mungyo which are more expensive but they are worth l Shame they are like butter. But Pentel has a strong smell that gives me a headache I don't think they are toxic but if they smell bad I think using some linseed oil might improve Later I will upload another review using oil Ok My review update. On a suitable paper such as the Pentel watercolor 300 gram mixed arts canson it is much better there. Before I had done it on a smoother paper and it was not Such a good result but now it is much better. And the smell disappeared. I think you have to leave the box open for two or three days for the strong smell to disappear. For the price and the colors I like it and It is a good product and I recommend it to practice as much as possible. There my drawing with penten not yet finished of the blue woman. I made the butterfly with penten but I used a few drops of linseed oil And wonderfully! I highly recommend it!

Veo que hay muchas opiniones de gente cuyo hobbie es la pintura, digamos, más profesional... En mi caso he comprado estas pinturas para el cumpleaños de mi sobri a la que os gusta la pintura y probar nuevos materiales. Son muy numerosas y más o menos de tamaño pequeño, pero esto es habitual en este tipo de pinturas en todas las marcas. Estuve dudando entre estas y las Faber Castell y me decanto por estás por el precio. Pintan muy bien y fácilmente, tienen colores brillantes, y sin fácilmente difuminadas con el dedo. Si las queréis para un niño o trabajos ocasionales creo que son perfectas y por lo que he leído por aquí para cosas más serias también van bien. Muy buena relación calidad, cantidad, precio. Repetiría sin duda. Os dejo fotos. Espero que os sirva la opinión :)

Correspond à mes attentes pour mon fils. Il rentre en 6eme et en avait besoin pour le dessin. Je recommenderais si besoin.

Looking to get back into art and trying to find a medium that inspires me to do things again, I've been attempting a number of different things. I haven't used oil pastels since the early 2000s and decided to try them out again - I had fun! I don't have a lot of experience with different brands but if you are familiar with the Royal & Langnickel brand, Pentel is much better. The ease of blending is there, where as it's non-existent with the R&L brand. The only down side would be the smell. It is a very strong smell and I would recommend letting it air out for a few hours before using them properly. Otherwise, I very good product and I would recommend it to those looking to try out a budget friendly oil pastel.

Kann noch nicht viel darüber sagen. Verpackung und Stabilität ist soweit ich es erkennen kann gut. Ein Update wenn die Kinder es in der Schule benutzen. Update nach gebrauch in der Schule, ja die Kinder sind sehr zufrieden.
