FC is amazing if you use the green artist quality line. The polychromos, The pitt pastel, their charcoal sets, the albretch durer. But anything from the blue line is more arts and crafts quality in my opinion.

Im so glad to watch you using this oil pastels, these are the only one i got. I was maybe able to draw something not so difficult, but the experience with them are very challenging and get me most of the time really upset, because they would turn out in the end pretty dirty. I am now encouraged to try new oil pastels!

I had the exact same experience working with them, they completely lack the opacity I was looking for. On the bright side, I did find that they worked well if I melted them and spread them with a palette knife to add texture to a piece. Otherwise they stay in the box...

i love your videos, the timing, the spontaneity of them, you just create such wonderful art without even trying at all. you are art!!!

Boy I used these for my first attempt at pastels and now I know all the mess wasn't on me! Thx man

I started using oil pastels because of you, and these were the first ones I got, and the I quickly switched to Gallery😅💜❤️

Oh, boy - am I glad I decided against these! They were on special offer in the little art shop in the city and I almost bought some to replace my horrid Daler Rowney set. Trust me, don't do it! Dry and flaky as f...! I opted for the Sennelier in the end. Yeah, they're pricey but my Lord, they're gorgeous! I think I might have cried tears of joy when I tested them out.

Thank goodness it wasn't just me. I tried these oil pastels years ago and they legit turned me off to the medium for a while lmao. Good to know there are other options 👏🏽👏🏽

i think i just fell in love... you are so fun to watch! and thanks for the heads up, i was thinkin of buying these. i've been using oil pastels for 3 years now and i finally understood why i couldn't layer them or why they kept getting muddy. helpful! keep posting more videos dude!

I’ve been watching you for months now and I want to thank you for all the great content you’ve put out. I think you’re really funny and oil pastels have become my favorite medium to use!! Sending love!

I bought this same set while I waited for some Mungyo Gallery and Paul Rubén’s ones to arrive. The Fabre Castell oil pastels are without a doubt the most awful feeling art material I’ve ever used. It’s like drawing with a stick of lard.

I really love Faber Castell color selection, but they're indeed hard to layer. i only found after buying the pentels, they are actually better though they're smaller and stink to heaven 🤧

I feel so vindicated!! lmao I've had these for about a year and I never reach for them because every time I use them they frustrate me. I always thought I just got a bad batch but it sounds like they're bad for everyone

I always appreciate the honesty! thank u!

i got these as my first oil pastels a while back and found blending to be really difficult and thought oil pastels were not for me. but now i think i want to try again with a different bbrand tthank you 🥺💕

Thank you for this!!!! I purchased this set at Michael's the day of the shutdown in 2020. I tried to use them but they crumbled and would not blend well at all, and like you said WOULD NOT STICK TO THE PAPER 🤬 I felt discouraged and chalked it up to bad technique. Fast forward 2 years later and now I know better. Ironically, I purchased the red kid's set with the handle for $3 on clearance and those are much smoother and more workable. I'm finna return this POS set because your video just gave ME the audacity! 🤣

I feel SOO much better!! I bought these oil pastels for myself for Christmas bc I was so inspired by your art. I like all my other Faber Castell art supplies, so why not their oil pastels? Wrong. I was frustrated just swatching them, but I was like "maybe I'm just new to oil pastels". Next day, I tried to draw a sunset and I attempted to blend the colors with my finger, then a tissue, and I nearly ripped my sketchbook. After I've seen so much of your oil pastel content, I knew these ones were 🗑. I donated them today, only to see this video confirming that I made the right decision 😂😂😂😂

The last time I did art using oil pastels was in highschool. You made me remember I enjoyed doing it. After, 15 years I bought a new set and ready to do it again. Thank you.

Love your videos and your work, thank you for this review, and the inspiration ❤

Love your little reviews ❤️

You have so much talent. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!!!!!

I just found your channel!!! Thank youuuuuuu, I love youuuuuu! You make me smile in an instant! Thank you! Oh and also: I loooooove your work!!

Hi Christopher! I purchased these 10 years ago, and they were my first oil pastels. I have the cray pal expressionism set to compare to them. I have to agree with you on this honest review. Thanks for sharing your experience with these.

I havn't watched the video yet but I love your content and you help me so much when it comes to art block and creativity. Thank you, I love you

Dang, you went in on those pastels!😄 Have you tried the Gelatos from Faber Castell or any similar water soluble crayons? I'd be interested to see what you think and how you'd use them. And P.S. even though you thought these were trash, your drawing was still 🔥.

I've been playing around with these oil pastels for two weeks and got so frustrated from feeling I was just bad at it. That's why I turned to KZread looking for a review on them. Good that I came across your video. Running to the shop now to get a better brand

I got those few weeks ago bc i wanted to try oil pastels and really went crazy working with those. I was taking color off the paper when i tried layering. It was a whole mess. Then I tried some other also pretty cheap ones and the difference was mind blowing. thank you for your content! :)

Love your little vibe.

Oh, goodie! I was given these pastels years ago and I was inspired by your videos to finally give them a try lmao

I feel so validated! I had a hard time using them too

LOVE your desk!!!!

I'm so glad you did this because I've never tried them before but that's exactly what I bought. I would have gone forward thinking I was awful at this. Thank you.

So glad you did this review. I'll try a different brand and give it another try.

I have been watching and enjoying your videos since the first one I saw where you were making fabulous art using Crayola brand pastels. This is by far my favorite video! Totally honest and explains fully why they are a dud! Thanks again. As always, time well spent! :)

had a similar experience with another brand in the last few days 😞 and man, i had been so hyped to start with oil pastels! I have to admit i kinda knew what i was probably getting myself into when i tried them out on my hand in the store and since they were really cheap... i dont hate them completely, but i am sad about their total lack of blendability, they rub off instead of mixing together Dx seems like i have to spend more money in the future. oh well edit: on the bright side (literally), i also bought some neon pastels from the same brand and the colors look great

I would love to see you do a video on Oil Sticks. They are crazy cool and I bet you would like them! Love your work.

I appreciate your review so much!!

It's so easy to trust your reviews because I know when the product is awful you clearly say it's awful. You are a treasure.

Oh my! And here I was thinking I was rubbish. Thank you so much! Both pentel and faber, my first two oil pastels, were that crumbly and I thought it was normal. Then I saw ppl doing amazingly soft works with it and I thought I was just bad. Thanks for this.

and yet somehow the drawing is still excellent! i bet you could make a beautiful portrait just drawing with a literal candle

I love you! You’re hilarious and very talented.

I just bought some of those hehe! Haven't used them yet. Appreciate your review

Ooh thanks so much. I do mostly watercolour but wanted to try oil pastel so much and I couldn’t do much with these .. so discouraged. I’m going to get Mungyo’s and try again. Thanks again.

Thank you for this review, I bought the 12 pk and thought it was the paper I was using!

I miss my oil pastels, but thank you for show casing these. Nice video!

when I was in my senior year of hs we had to make a project using oil pastels and I didn't had any so I bought these , because I though they were good and cheap... I was wrong. And I ended up having a meltdown over it because I couldn't make them work, I tried everything I knew and they still looked bad. Eventually I gave up and bought a better brand that was a bit more expensive, and it ended up going well. Definitely learned my lesson

even with those pastels you did a great job i admire and envy you so much i love you

I'm so glad ur feeling better and I'm glad ur able to post more. I fucking love ur work. U have helped me improve in my oil pastel art. And I even got the crayola ones and I love them.... I see u now lol

When i first started watching you i was so inspired that i bought some of those fabercastells and was so disappointed! I thought maybe it was me, but they really do not stay on the paper.

Honestly I really need like hour videos of you. I dgaf if your just reviewing movies and making art I need it all.

Have you ever dabbled in water-soluble oil pastels? Crayola makes a really nice set called Portfolio, at least I feel like they are a nice set :D

I follow you on tiktok but I’m so glad I stumbled upon your youtube channel! I love love love your work

Thank you i used these in my art class and I was getting so frustrated over the flakes getting on the other colors and it was so hard to blend the color. I ended up with a poor grade cause of it.

Yes please have a messy desk. I honestly wish more art KZreadrs had desks that look like they do art of them. Also love the hand swatches so much, I swear there seem to be so many artists that are afraid of getting art supplies on themselves.

I have no interest in oil pastels, but I stumbled onto this video. Must say, I LOVE your style of presentation! Fun to watch!

Oh my god literally the most expensive and infuriating pastels!!! I remember using this and feeling like a 3 year old

Thank you for this!

While these aren't from their artist quality line for that price point I still would have expected better. Thank you for such an honest review.

This review makes me think I should try oil pastels again sometime. I used them once in college, and they were Faber oil Pastels. I remember there was something about the medium I had liked but I also found it too much of a struggle to build up the look I wanted that I just gave up on using them. Didn't even consider trying other brands to see if I liked them more.

THANK YOU for this... I just thought I was trash with oil pastels, but it turns out my limited exposure to better quality pastels is the biggest factor, because these were SO FRUSTRATING.

Thanks for the honest review

Ooh. I wish i saw this video before i bought the 36 pack😥 and i gifted one to my mother too😰 I LOVE your work. You are absolutely amazing. I found you just today, looks like i've been living under a rock. Been having a huge artblock for so long but looking at your work, those lovely distored faces with so much color. I used to sketch similar things with a pen but i've never thought to make them bigger and embrace the distortedness...is that a word?...or use color at all....thank you so much, i'm gonna get back on track and try something out. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Sooooo happy to see you, child of God! You're the best! Great review!

Clean desks are boring💕 I only recently found your channel and I gotta say, I love your whole energy!🙌🏼 And your style is so inspiring 🙏🏼💜

Beautiful heart face portrait!!!!!!!!!! Really beautiful art piece, felt a lot of emotion from it Beautiful artwork!!!!

But how do you *really* feel about threm? 😂😂 You crack me up, Bean. Love your honesty. I checked out other “reviews,” (most of which were swatching videos) and I have to say you are spot on! It looks like they are too dry to blend and that they leave a lot of crumbs. No bueno. Thanks for this video-these are the art supplies that frustrate beginners into quitting. 💜💜

These were the first oil pastels I used a couple of years ago (picked them up randomly because I was new and curious about all sorts of mediums) and it was so frustrating I gave up on oil pastels until recently when I got the Mungyo Gallery set! I hate it when I see bad pastels recommended for students, nobody will find any joy in learning with these! By the way, I've seen many good reviews and artists working with the Paul Rubens ones and I'd love to hear your opinion on them too.

It’s amazing how you say that those are worst but you still made an art piece out of it 😮‍💨🙌🏽

This guy's personality and sense of humor is priceless

Man tysm fo the confirmation coz I actually thought I waz just usin them wrong 😭😭

Will you try the Paul Rubens ones? You do great reviews!

Started trying to pick up oil pastels and bought these because it’s Faber castel a brand I trust and became discouraged after a while because no matter how I tried to follow tutorials or do my own thing I quickly realized I couldn’t blend or even layer with them. I thought I was just bad till I decided to give it another go and realized it was mostly just the pastel.

Bro where have you been all my life?🤣🤣🤣 I have subscribed omg😱😱😱 I have pentel and have not even touched them. They were cheap not too mad. Thanks for sharing 🤗💕

Oh thank you for reviewing these. I have the chalk ones and was thinking of getting the oil ones. I will avoid them now

Nice vídeo! O love your reviewing videos... Waiting for a Paul Rubens and Van Gogh oil pastels review... Thanks

Fun review! Ever tried out Caran d'Ache Neocolor? I tried out small set of their neocolor2, they are water soluble, very pigmented and opaque, liked them a lot. Neocolor1 are probably more your cup of tea as they are waxy.

I bought them a few months ago after watching your videos and thought either they were terrible or I just didn’t know what I was doing..I’m glad it’s not just me
