5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Oil (Pastels) That I've Used So Far.., December 28, 2008

For the money,these are v.high quality and a easy to work with. What I like especially is their size(easy to hold onto)as well as the fact that they are manufactured with points(like Crayola,which btw,are the manufacturers of them)However, don't let that put you off,these are quite professional and have a great consistency and can even be used w/water and a paintbrush(so you can paint with oils w/o the mess.) For those wanting to try this medium or have been using it for awhile,definitely give these a try,you'll most likely be pleasantly surprised..!

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent water soluble oil pastel, September 13, 2008

Oil pastels are gaining greater popularity because there is no problem with dust and pollution as in soft pastels.They are easy to use and specific techniques enable you to achieve oil painting effects.Portfolio series is creamy,rich in color and blends well. With addition of water,it flows smoothly,not leaving watery residue..These sticks are great value for the money you pay.....comparable to other such water soluble oil pastels nearly double the cost...I have tried several brands...This one is most satisfying, besides being of low cost...This product is not for kids ,but students and amateurs and professional artists.This is made in Spain which has been the home of several great artists,Picasso included.

I have searched high and low for water soluble oil pastels and these are the best. I art journal and do mixed media art and have found these to be invaluable and to have no equal.

They are inexpensive, have a creamy smooth consistency, melt like butter when water is added to give them a beautiful watercolor look, and are a fabulous addition to my art supplies. Very worth the money!

I will be keeping a spare set around so I never run out.
