Product Information

The HaiYa range of pastels by Rubens offers extensive colour mixing capabilities. The set of 72 comes with a large range of darks and earth tones, which are useful in creating highly contrasted drawings and realistic shadow tones. The earth colours are great for creating warm shadows in portrait tones, or landscape scenes. Good Color Quality. The most important aspect in creating art is color. The pastels in both sets were vibrant and colors felt rich, which means they are using good quality pigment. Yes! The colors are just splendid. When I first opened the box I was excited like a kid in a candy store. I almost didn’t want to use them so I don’t spoil this visual perfection. There are a number of tools and supplies that can be used to assist you in the use of oil pastels. These tools are used to either aid in blending colors after laying them down or scraping any excess material off if necessary. There are also supplies that will aid in preparing your surface and preserving the final product. The pastels were not as opaque as I had hoped, especially on the dark paper. If you layer too much on this paper the pastels will just sheer out.

They all mix and combine well with the other brands I have, but alone work very well too. Compared to Sennelier, Paul Rubens oil pastels are more than twice cheaper yet offer similar grip, design and creamy texture and performance. The range also includes a selection of bright, vibrant colours that can be used to give a great pop of colour to any drawing. There is an abundance of different red, blue and green tones to choose from. There are fewer yellow tones to choose from, however, the lemon yellow colour provides a good primary, that can be mixed with other yellows to create a wide range of warm and cool yellow hues.

Chalk pastels vs oil pastels

Stronger pressure will give you more opaque and evener coverage, light pressure willallow paper to show through. Another nice thing I liked about this product is that it is soft enough that you can blend it easily using your fingers. However, they are still firm enough that kids will not be accidentally breaking them on their first use. I did find that using a bit of sunflower oil will make the colors blend easier.

In conclusion, oil pastels are one of the most popular art mediums for artists. They use them because they blend well and can create vibrant colours that other paint media cannot be as successful with in comparison to their ease of use. They are not as opaque as other opaque colors and I’m not sure why they are labeled as opaque. Even in paint, yellow are rarely opaque. Even though it is soft, it still has enough hardness to resist breaking in half while you are using it. Many beginner artists sometimes lose control of the amount of pressure they are putting on oil pastels, causing them to break in two. This will not be the case with the Kuptool oil pastels. The reason is that these things are solid.The beauty of oil pastel painting is that you don’t need too many materials to start creating, which makes it an incredibly accessible medium for beginners. One supply that could come in useful for those who want to thin their colours down, is a solvent. Simply brush a little solvent over the colour you want to thin and watch as the texture becomes runny. This technique is especially good for underpainting, or creating the first layer of the drawing. Techniques You will be getting 12 different colors in this set of oil pastels. Some artists may think that this is not enough. However, if you are a beginner at using oil pastels, 12 is more than enough. As mentioned earlier, these oil pastels are soft enough that you can easily combine them to make any color that you need. This is even more important if you will be giving the oil pastels to young kids. You need to get non-toxic oil pastels. If your kids have allergies, find the ones that do not contain allergens.

Artists prefer a high grade and weight of pastel paper to get the best results and most vivid hues.The best thing about these oil pastels, in my honest opinion, is that they came close in terms of quality as those of Sennelier’s. It is the top brand when it comes to oil pastels. The good news is that you can buy these at just a fraction of the cost. This is an example of getting more than what you paid for. Aside from the case, another accessory that I liked is the handy plastic scraper. This has different edges that allow the user to create all sorts of effects using the oil pastels. I use this tool regularly when I am making scratch-resist drawings and it works great.
