Camel Artist Oil Pastels 50 Shades - Multicolor

At this price, this is literally the best artists' quality oil pastels you can get. It's cheap you can paint to your heart's content and keep practicing without worrying about "wasting" money.The pastels mix well and the colours are bright and varied. I have used mod podge as a fixer coating on these so that the oil pastels don't spread or get muddied while handling.I have used a 100 GSM paper meant for regular drawing, so the true potential of the colors can't be seen in the pictures I've added.I'm also completely new to oil pastels, so all the issues you see with bad mixing of colors or shading is on me, and not the precious pastels!!If art gives you joy and you're looking to try oil pastels, don't hesitate to buy these!!! Money well spent, and will definitely spend again on this!!!P.S. The item was shipped to me in a good state, everything was fresh and unbroken.

Simply awesome!! Has an intense buttery feeling when applying. Colours are highly pigmented compared to the student grade oil pastels from Camlin. The sticks are chunky/large and bigger than the students grade. Although I have never used any other brands of oil pastels besides Camlin, I can definitely say this is a great product and can surely compete with foreign expensive brands. Camlin gives us artists quality products at a very affordable price which are quite competetive in quality with US and European brands. At this price, I had nothing to loose except gain an awesome product!! At least I can say that for Oil Pastels, Soft Pastels and Water Colours because I use all of these. I might try Pentel at a later point in time but for now I am really happy that I purchased this. Thanks Amazon for timely delivery and iron-clad packaging.

I was surprised at the quality. Its good enough for use by professionals if you ofcourse know pastel use for paintings. More or less creamy, blending is ok and pigments are average rich. But the shade spread is a bit problematic and you have to use carefully. The blue variety is weak. More of green, yellow, reds and browns with deeper tones could be difficult for people to find. But if you know how to use shades and for filling or background work this is really good enough. I am impressed and will go for this in landscapes and urban terrains or background work.

Arrived just now.Product Quality-I have used the 25 shades version before so I know that they are of very high quality. That is why I ordered the 50 shades version.These are buttery soft and can be very easily blended. The painting is created by using the 25 shade version. So yes, I would recommend this set to others.Packaging :The plastic shell for the oil pastels is severely damaged. It's quite surprising that we get a plastic box for the students' version of oil pastels, but we get a cardboard box for the artists' version. Camel please provide us with a proper box.

These are the best oil pastels I have used so far!

Very bad quality colors, poor packaging and some are broken!!!

I am happy with the product. Good for low end painting.

Absolutely thrilled with the Camel 50 Shades of Oil Pastels! The colors are vibrant and blend beautifully, making my artwork come alive.Highly recommend!
