What to say I love these pastels lay down really well and blend superbly. Very nice colours a good verity, they are very well pigmented and nice and creamy. If you are just starting out or done oil pastels for years give these a try you can't go wrong, sometimes I use black multimedia paper and have no issues at all

Excellent value for money, beautiful product- I'm an old hand with oil pastels - my daughter just learning. Perfect for both of us as easy to use. Easy the blend - with a lovely depth of colour range. I'd recommend for any level artist or those with physical restrictions as good size to hold and use. Comfortable to fit in hand young and old

Not as stated, there is NO TIN STORAGE BOX. They come in paper box with flimsy plastic tray. Wouldn't have choose this set if I'd have know. You'll need a stiff brush to blend but they are water soluble. They are not packaged in any protection, shipped in paper box they come in with the shipping label on box. Would not buy again. Hate Prime sellers that lie!

I was surprised at the good quality of these water soluble oil pastels for the price point!I've used Mungyo, Hashi, Art Philosophy, and Crayola Portfolio. All of those are good but of limited colors. The Mont Marte has 48 colors and they are distinct. They blend very well with water and have good color on the paper. Some brands have colors that disappear when water is applied.They do not come in a tin but in a cardboard box. A tin would be nice but is not a deal breaker for me. Cardboard probably holds down the price and is recyclable!!I'd recommend these for art journaling, layering for under paintings, and general use.

I was eager to see if these OIL pastels were really water soluble. Indeed they are water soluble and can even be reactivated. On my color chart, the bottom part of each color is smudged with water and the top part with a dry finger. Don't expect buttery pastels here. Actually they are somewhat flaky. They are compatible with oil pastels of course. Come to think of it, I wonder what the difference is with watercolor crayons.Four stars because of the cheap casing, just like the picture. But I already knew that.

A good colour range of oil pastels. They disolve good but not as well as the Neocolor II. Good value for money

These water-soluble pastels are so very dry. I accidentally ordered the regular oil pastels at first and those came in a metal tin. I didn't open those because I actually wanted the water pastels and I'm returning those... but the water-soluble version came in cardboard wrapped in plastic that had holes for air. They are pretty hard for oil pastels, but I have to say they are alright for the price. Something to play around or practice with. If you use them directly on paper, it's difficult to get hard lines to soften without overworking the paper. I ground the pastels on a separate surface and added water to them before applying to paper- I liked that method and the results were very nice. The color selection is nice. But if you are looking for a creamy, these are not it.

Mont Marte is an Australian company but these pastels are made in China. Their line includes oil pastels, soft oil pastels and water soluble pastels, so all the reviews are lumped together.This review is for the water soluble oil pastels.I found its better to use a stiff brush to activate with water if you scribbledirectly on paper. Smooth toothed paper is better than textured paper for the scribble marks to disappear. The colors dry matte, they are translucent and vibrant enough that you can really add lots of water toget different shades of color.UPDATE:I’m giving 5 stars!I’ve compared these water soluble pastels to Mungyo ones which have gotten very good reviews on YouTube and I think the Mont Marte are better. They are more vibrant, the color selection is better and so is the price.I bought a refrigerator liner for 99 cents, cut it in half and now I have two rough textured paint palettes to scribble the pastels onto and wow are they even more vibrant.Caran D’Ache makes a small pallette but I find something much larger is better. I’ve even used a clear plastic kitchen cutting board.That may not be Neocolor II’s but in the budget category, they rock.
