SAKURA XLP50 50-Piece Cray-Pas Expressionist Oil Pastel Set, Assorted Color

Our Experience

For the price, this is impressive! I've been using the Sakura XLP50 oil pastel set daily for almost a month now, and it's held up surprisingly well. The colors are vibrant and smooth, perfect for blending and layering techniques. I particularly loved the rich blues; they're deep and gorgeous.

However, a minor gripe is that some of the lighter shades, like the white and light yellows, can appear chalky when used heavily. But at this price point, it's a minor trade-off for the sheer variety of colors I get. Overall, it's a fantastic set that punches well above its weight.
