Review: Oil pastels - Excellent quality of pigments and love the range of colors.
Review: The best. The original. What more can I say? - You shouldn’t need me to tell you that these are, without argument, the best oil pastels available. Senneliers and Picasso invented them so you really can’t expect any less. These are not value brand items, but they are worth the money - I will be buying again as long as I live. They are like an entirely different category as far as use goes - smooth, buttery texture that is insanely fun to glide across paper. They blend like poetry and music blend to make lyrics. They are intimidating but easy to use with a little practice. So far I haven’t smeared anything but I could see how easy it could be for them to smear.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Im looking at the set of 48 and the colors seem better. i want the wooden box though. does this set have all the same colors as the 48 one?**
A: Hello, I haven't seen a box of 48 in real life but I have the wooden box of 50. It has all the colors that it shows in the photo and it seems that the 48 box has pretty much the same. . . there may be a few differences. It looks like the box of 50 has more blues and greens.. I was very happy with the wooden box! And I go through them so quickly that I can buy new colors and refill the box. Hope that's helpful!

**Q: Are they full sticks?**
A: I haven't used them since last year. All my art supplies are packed up presently, but I think they were 1/2 or 1/3rds. They were easy to hold, and didn't break while using as far as I remember.

**Q: Do they mix well?**
A: This is not a question I can answer. I haven't used them often and haven't tried to mix.

**Q: Is there a vibrant pink in this set?**
A: just one but a few muted pinks

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Soft as lipstick
*by S***T on May 16, 2014*

These oil pastels are definitely the best of the best and are creamy smooth. I have a set of Mungyos as well. I like the color choices but after having a set of 72 Mungyos, I got spoiled by the colors and buying this set with less colors is an adjustment. I'm new to oil pastel and find the Senneliers more of a challenge because they are so soft and I end up having issues with smearing. And I use a piece of paper under my hand. But these are light years ahead of the rest. I like using my Mungyos along with these which allow me to put under layers with my other pastels and finishing with these.
