Mr. Pen Oil Pastels (45 Colors) Review

Product Information

The Mr. Pen Oil Pastels set includes 45 assorted colors designed for artists, students, hobbyists, and beginners. The set features easy-to-hold pastel sticks and offers a wide range of colors for drawing, coloring, shading, and other art projects. These oil pastels can be used on paper, canvas, wood, and other surfaces, making them a versatile addition to any art supply collection.

My Review

I recently tried the Mr. Pen Oil Pastels 45-color set, and overall I like them. The color selection is nice, giving you plenty of options for creating colorful artwork. The pigments show up well on paper, and I found that the colors do not bleed, which helps keep artwork looking clean.

My only real complaint is that I could not get a smooth finish with them. Even after using Q-tips to try to smooth out the color, the artwork still had a noticeable texture. This wasn’t a dealbreaker for me, but I would have preferred a smoother overall appearance.

Other than that, I enjoyed using these oil pastels. The colors are vibrant, easy to work with, and provide good coverage. For the price, they offer a nice variety of colors and are a good option for beginners, students, or anyone looking for an affordable oil pastel set.

One small thing I always enjoy about Mr. Pen products is that they often include a mustache sticker in the package. It doesn’t affect the quality of the product, of course, but it’s a fun little extra that adds some personality to the brand. I always get a smile when I see it, and it’s a nice touch that makes the unboxing experience a little more enjoyable.

Pros

* 45 color options
* Bright, vibrant colors
* Colors do not bleed
* Good coverage
* Affordable price

Cons

* Difficult to achieve a smooth finish

Final Verdict

The Mr. Pen Oil Pastels 45-color set is a good budget-friendly option with a great variety of colors. While I wish the finished artwork looked smoother, the vibrant colors, good coverage, and lack of bleeding make these enjoyable to use. If you’re looking for an affordable oil pastel set for creative projects, these are worth checking out.
