Review: Sakura Oil Pastels are Great Quality and a Great Price - I have happily purchased every version and size of Sakura Oil Pastels (and will continue to do so). The consistency of the oil pastel and its smoothness when working on canvas, wood panel, or paper always comes out looking nice, Which is why I decided to purchase the multi-cultural set. It is a nice variety of neutral colors that I often use every day. It is nice to see these colors cohesively packaged which allows me to think of color combinations and play with the set to achieve a myriad of blends. I use them for my abstract art work in different mediums (primarily acrylic). But they can be used for both drawing and painting. The price is great for those who want nice quality art supplies without the hefty price tag. Plus you are getting a decent size oil pastel as compared to some other brands that cost less. I sometimes use other brands for color variation when needed. But Sakura ranks at the top because of the way it makes my artwork have a more polished look to it. Review: Quality is outstanding and the price is great! - Very creamy, quality is outstanding and variety of skin tones is great. Value for the price is amazing. Very easy to blend colors. Thickness is good. This is can be used by kids and adults. I love art products from Japan. I wish desertcart would would supply more art supplies from Japan. There are some items from Japan that I would like to order but cannot. I don’t understand why. I would rather order more art supplies from Japan than china. The Japanese value quality more than anything else. ## Features - BRIGHT, VERSATILE COLORS: Achieve many painterly effects like blending, layering, and scratching with the creamy texture and smooth application of Sakura’s oil pastels. - THE ORIGINAL OIL PASTEL: Invented Sakura in 1925 by the company’s founders on a quest to create a better art medium than crayons. - JAPANESE QUALITY: Each pigment color is individually color matrix tested against all the other colors to ensure blendability. - CERTIFIED NON-TOXIC: Approved by ACMI toxicologists & bears trusted AP Seal. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B002JJY36M | | Additional Features | Non-Toxic | | Age Range (Description) | Teen | | Age Range Description | Teen | | Best Sellers Rank | #48,638 in Arts, Crafts & Sewing ( See Top 100 in Arts, Crafts & Sewing ) #108 in Drawing Pastels | | Body Shape | Round | | Brand | SAKURA | | Brand Name | SAKURA | | Closure Type | Snap | | Color | Multicolor | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 413 Reviews | | Drill Point | Medium | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00084511390478 | | Hand Orientation | Ambidextrous | | Hardness | Soft | | Included Components | 50 oil pastels | | Ink Base | Oil | | Ink Color | Multicolor | | Item Dimensions | 3.54 x 5.59 x 0.63 inches | | Item Weight | 140 g | | Manufacturer | SAKURA OF AMERICA | | Material | Oil Pastel | | Material Type | Oil Pastel | | Model Number | XLP12(SA) | | Recommended Uses For Product | Artistic Expression, Creating Effects, Blending Colors, Building Texture | | Style | Expressive | | Theme | Multi-Cultural | | UPC | 084511390478 798804396459 | | Unit Count | 12 Count | | Warranty Description | 60 days. | | Water Resistance Level | Not Water Resistant | | Writing Instrument Form | Pastel Stick | ## Product Details - **Age Range (Description):** Teen - **Brand:** SAKURA - **Color:** Multicolor - **Ink Color:** Multicolor - **Writing Instrument Form:** Pastel Stick ## Images ![SAKURA Cray-Pas Expressionist Multi-Cultural Oil Pastel Set, 12 Colors - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81AbWK7iGQL.jpg) ![SAKURA Cray-Pas Expressionist Multi-Cultural Oil Pastel Set, 12 Colors - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81nYSKONRvL.jpg) ![SAKURA Cray-Pas Expressionist Multi-Cultural Oil Pastel Set, 12 Colors - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91qFW2jZYVL.jpg) ![SAKURA Cray-Pas Expressionist Multi-Cultural Oil Pastel Set, 12 Colors - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81Y3vfiy1mL.jpg) ![SAKURA Cray-Pas Expressionist Multi-Cultural Oil Pastel Set, 12 Colors - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81ZBRE1Yk1L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sakura Oil Pastels are Great Quality and a Great Price *by D***R on March 3, 2024* I have happily purchased every version and size of Sakura Oil Pastels (and will continue to do so).
