Free Shipping on eligible items. Save on everyday low prices. Review: Great value with reliable use. - Wonderful selection of colors. I cannot imagine a scene one could not draw with this color ramhe. Blend easily. Strongly recommend planning out your drawing in advance so you can successfully work in layers or from light to dark. This is a basic premise of pastel (and other art media) techniques but i often forget it, to my dismay. Planning helps with any project. Packaging is durable and provides good environmental protection for product. It gets hot in my area and the pastels stay in good shape. Recommended storing them flat rather than placing box on its side or everything will fall out. I also recommend placing it on to of whatever supplies you have stacked. I feel the box could endure an encyclopedia on top but why test destiny? Overall, a positive experience for beginners or more advanced artists. IF you are a BEGINNER, I strongly recommend finding videos regarding how to use oil pastels. These are good for beginners but the caveat is that said beginners should obtain info on use before taking the plunge. Review: Great performance, great value - I tried the crayons today on a daffodil field sketch. Very easy to use, doesn't break, smooth coloring, and beautiful colors. And the price is incredible for this kind of quality. Highly recommend. ## Features - BRIGHT, VERSATILE COLORS: Achieve many painterly effects like blending, layering, and scratching with the creamy texture and smooth application of Sakura’s oil pastels. - THE ORIGINAL OIL PASTEL: Invented Sakura in 1925 by the company’s founders on a quest to create a better art medium than crayons. - JAPANESE QUALITY: Each pigment color is individually color matrix tested against all the other colors to ensure blendability. - CERTIFIED NON-TOXIC: Approved by ACMI toxicologists & bears trusted AP Seal. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000KIDZ5O | | Additional Features | Non-Toxic | | Age Range (Description) | Teen | | Age Range Description | Teen | | Best Sellers Rank | #25,906 in Arts, Crafts & Sewing ( See Top 100 in Arts, Crafts & Sewing ) #53 in Drawing Pastels | | Body Shape | Round | | Brand | SAKURA | | Brand Name | SAKURA | | Closure Type | Snap | | Color | Multicolor | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 1,411 Reviews | | Drill Point | Medium | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00084511372368 | | Hand Orientation | Ambidextrous | | Hardness | Soft | | Ink Base | Oil | | Ink Color | Multicolor | | Item Dimensions | 12 x 0.65 x 7 inches | | Item Type Name | Expressionist | | Item Weight | 16 ounces | | Line Size | 2mm_and_above millimeters | | Manufacturer | Sakura of America | | Material | Oil Pastel | | Material Type | Oil Pastel | | Model Number | XLP50 | | Recommended Uses For Product | Make Up | | Style | Artistic | | Theme | Expressionism | | UPC | 084511372368 798804830618 110709395472 046901791470 046901890975 599039296541 719279402186 683203359344 046976299475 | | Unit Count | 50.0 Count | | Warranty Description | 60-day. | | Water Resistance Level | Not Water Resistant | | Writing Instrument Form | Pastel Stick | | Writing Technique | Oil pastel application | ## Product Details - **Age Range (Description):** Teen - **Brand:** SAKURA - **Color:** Multicolor - **Ink Color:** Multicolor - **Writing Instrument Form:** Pastel Stick ## Images ![XLP50 50-Piece Cray-Pas Expressionist Oil Pastel Set, Assorted Color - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91uwnLj8XVL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Does this set include the skin tone colors?** A: I have the Cray Pas Specialist 50 Set which does have the skin tone colours.
