Reviews
Product description
This set of soft oil pastels from Artecho brings 72 vivid colours for drawing, blending and mixed-media work, making it easy to add rich hues to illustrations, scrapbooks and school projects. The pastels aim to combine smooth application with strong pigmentation, suitable for beginners, students and more experienced artists who want a portable, flexible medium.
Key Points
The collection contains 72 individual sticks, each wrapped in a protective paper sleeve to reduce breakage and mess. Pigments are described by the manufacturer as high quality, delivering bright tones that blend and layer well for shading and textured effects. The sticks measure approximately 70 mm by 10 mm, a size that is comfortable to hold and convenient to store in a pencil case or art bag. 🎨
The pastels are intended for a wide range of techniques including direct drawing, scraping, impasto-style layering and dotting. They are presented as non-toxic according to the product details, which makes them appropriate for classroom use and family craft sessions, although adult supervision is advised for younger children. ✏️
Technical Specifications
Name
: Artecho Oil Pastels Set of 72 Colors- Quantity: 72 colours
- Stick size: 70 × Ø 10 mm
- Finish: Soft oil pastel, high pigmentation
- Safety: Non-toxic according to the manufacturer
Practical Tips
For smoother blends, work on textured paper made for pastels or heavyweight sketching paper and use a paper stump or clean fingertip to soften edges. To prevent smudging once a layer is complete, consider fixing the work lightly with a pastel fixative sprayed from a distance, according to the fixative instructions. Keep the paper sleeves on until ready to use to minimise waste and improve grip while drawing. 🖌️
Note that soft oil pastels can be prone to transfer and may not be the best choice where a completely smudge-proof finish is required. Colour names are not printed on each sleeve, so arranging shades on a palette or tray can help when working on larger pieces.
