Maped Color Peps Oil Pastel Set - Pack of 24

Key features include a full 24-color palette for a broad range of tones, rich pigments for bold color payoff, a blendable texture for easy layering and mixing, and colors that resist fading for long-lasting artwork. The set is compact and convenient for on-the-go use.

The 24-color set offers a wider palette, enabling more nuanced shading and more blending options compared with the 12-color version. It’s a better choice if you want greater color variety without jumping to a larger pack. See the 12-color option here: https://fepy.com/product/maped-color-peps-oil-pastel-set-12

The 36-color set provides an even broader color range for advanced illustration and design work, with more specialization colors (neutrals, brights, etc.). The 24-color set offers a balanced, portable option with plenty of variety for most projects. See the 36-color option here: https://fepy.com/product/maped-color-peps-oil-pastel-set-36

They work well on a variety of surfaces such as drawing paper, illustration boards, cardboard, and lightly textured canvas. For best results, start with a smooth to medium-textured surface designed for pastel work.

Blend by using your finger or a blending stump/soft cloth to gently smudge and mix colors. Layer light to dark colors, apply medium pressure for richer color, and clean the blending tools as needed to keep colors true.

Yes, they’re designed to be non-toxic and suitable for artists of all ages. Always follow standard safety guidelines for art materials and supervise younger users as needed.

Use it for portraits, fashion illustrations, vibrant concept art, posters, and mixed-media pieces. The blendability and rich pigment make it ideal for creating gradients, textures, and bold graphic accents.

Keep the pastels capped or in their original case when not in use, store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, and avoid exposure to extreme heat which can cause the colors to soften or deform.

Pair it with blending tools like stumps or soft cloths, high-quality pastel paper or mixed-media paper, and optionally a light fixative for finished works. A protective workspace mat helps keep surfaces clean.

Color reference resources or swatch sheets may be available separately on Fepy, helping you map colors to specific swatches for planning compositions.

Wipe hands with soap and water, clean any stained surfaces with a damp cloth, and store the pastels back in their case to prevent powder transfer to other items.
