Pentel Oil Pastel Set, New Packaging – Pack of 36

36 color palette, smooth blendable texture for layering and shading, high-quality pigments for bold, long-lasting color, durable protective packaging, portable design, and suitable for professional use.

The 36-color set offers a broader palette for complex color mixing and detailed shading, while the 24-color and 12-color sets provide more compact options for travel or budget-minded practice. See the 24-color set here: https://fepy.com/products/pentel-oil-pastel-set-24-color-pe-phn-24am and the 12-color set here: https://fepy.com/products/pentel-oil-pastel-set-12-color-pe-phn-12am for side-by-side comparison.

Ideal for professional illustration, portraiture, still life, and mixed-media artwork where rich color layering and subtle transitions between hues are important. The full 36-color range covers highlights, midtones, and shadows with ease.

Apply light, even layers, then blend edges with a finger or a blending stump. Layer multiple colors to build depth, and use burnishing with a light top color to create a uniform surface. For sharp edges, work from light to dark and clean your tool between colors.

Pastels work well on pastel papers, bristol, heavyweight drawing papers, and illustration boards. For smoother blends, try hot-press watercolor paper or sanded pastel paper. Avoid overly glossy surfaces that resist pigment adhesion.

Yes. Pentel oil pastels are designed for artists and are formulated to be non-toxic. They are suitable for adults and students; as with any art material, avoid ingestion and wash hands after use.

Keep the pastels in their new protective packaging or a protective case, store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, and avoid exposing them to moisture. Reclose the box after use to prevent pigment transfer to other colors.

Consider blending tools like blending stumps or a soft cloth, artist-quality fixative spray to set finished pieces, and quality paper towels for blotting and blending. A dedicated pastel storage tray keeps colors organized and accessible.

Yes. The 36-color Pentel set delivers a broad color spectrum with rich pigments and blendability, packaged for portability and quick access—making it a strong value for professionals who work across portraits, landscapes, and illustrations.

You can pair this set with additional color sets from Pentel (e.g., the 24-color or 12-color sets) or mix in individual colors from other compatible palettes you find on Fepy to tailor your palette to specific projects. See available options here: 24-color: https://fepy.com/products/pentel-oil-pastel-set-24-color-pe-phn-24am, 12-color: https://fepy.com/products/pentel-oil-pastel-set-12-color-pe-phn-12am.

Lightly fixative spray can help protect finished work from smudging. Use a light, even mist and allow to dry completely before handling. If you're unsure, test the spray on scrap paper first to ensure it doesn’t affect the surface or colors.
