Mont Marte Extra Soft Oil Pastels Macaron Hues Premium 26pc, Assorted Pastel & Metallic Colors, Vibrant, Buttery, Versatile Art Pastels for Blending, layering & Shading, Coloring, Sketching

I saw another mixed media artist using these on her YouTube video and I took a chance and orders them. I am so glad I did. I love the colors and they glide onto the page and move around so easily, allowing me create backgrounds and effects. You could also certainly use them to draw with. I love the creaminess of these oil pastels without being overly oily. They aren’t huge sticks, but for my purposes they should last a good while and I felt they were reasonably priced.

They’re so smooth and creamy like butter I love them especially because I always need white so it’s nice and convenient that it comes with 6 whites

These are great quality and blend well. Good if you don’t have the budget for more expensive brands

Colorful,easy to use

Terrific soft oil pastels, good pigment and a nice range of colors, these are a pleasure to work with and really are soft, unlike some other brands that claim to be but aren't. There is a french brand that is maybe 10% better in my estimation but cost 10 times the price. These are very good indeed at a sane price and the packaging is attractive and very functional. It's not cabinetry but holds up very well in use. Getting back into this medium I bought a bunch of different brands and these were right at the top, i will definitely buy again as they get used up.

This oil pastel set gets high marks for its color range, for the well organized and laid out set, the hefty feel in ones hand, and blending ability and its price. The range of colors makes them good for landscape, and figure and portrait sketching. The downsides are a slightly unpleasant oily smell and the pastels go down in a slick fashion so that while that blending with adjacent colors, is good, layering is not good. Opacity varied a lot. They were not good for small details or sharp edges. I suggest you use a more textured paper if you want to layer with these and use a harder pastel or colored pencils if you want details. I gave them four stars because of the very reasonable price.

Perfect white for blending. Soft and opaque. Not suitable for bright hightlights at the very end, but as a mixing white, which is always needed, these are muah, chef's kiss!

These are so great and creamy!
