SAKURA Sakura Pastel Crayons Specialist 50 colors ESP50

サクラの発色、適度なぬるぬる感が好きです。どっちにしても絵を描く場合、１社の製品に限られず、いろんなパステルを使うと思います。サクラ製品は是非備えたい、というか必携といったところか。

使いやすい。想像通り

美術教師ですが、かなりいいです。 伸び、発色よし。 学童用に16色も出して欲しい。

通常のサクラ クレパスを使ってましたが、さらにグレードの高いのを求めてスペシャリストを購入。四角く作ってあるので表現の幅が広がりますし、色も素晴らしく柔らかく混ぜやすいので、商品は気に入りました。でも、 サクラ クレパスに のケースにある箱を止めるスナップがありません。スナップは持ち出しに大変便利です。スナップが付いた箱にしていただける事を期待を込めて☆４つにさせていただきました。

前々から欲しかった50色クレパスに大満足しています。

柔らかくて描きやすい。 お絵かきがはかどります。

こちらで購入したのではないですが、製品についてぜひ書きたいと思いました。今までぺんてる、ホルベイン、セヌリエ、カランダッシュなど使ってきました。サクラクレパスアーティストもお試しのつもりで購入。50色のわりに安かったので。でも嬉しい期待はずれでした。硬さはやや硬めですが私にはちょうどよく、伸びも発色もいいです。描いていて楽しく、指にもつきにくい。私には相性ばっちりでした。世間で言われる海外の有名ブランドよりオススメします。

細目紙で描きました。 カサカサ、画像の通り、専門家レベルではない！ 5千円を損んだ。

Here's what you get for spending a lot less money than what other brands of artist quality oil pastels cost: -- Lightfastness ratings on every stick (they tend to be pretty good, actually) -- Very high pigment density (probably the defining characteristic of 'artist quality' colors, along with lightfastness) -- Handling characteristics somewhere between Holbein and Sennelier (buttery and low-crumbling, yet not like lipstick) -- A good color range (I think there are 88 colors in the entire range) -- Large sticks in popular square shape -- Available as open stock, with good prices (I think Blick has them for about $1.79 per stick, with mix-and-match price breaks) Most of the colors behave exactly as expected, but Specialist is far less expensive than all other professional brands. Other colors are downright jaw-dropping in how well they look and feel, most notably the metallics, blues, and blue-greens (the blues and blue greens have the appearance of translucent oil paint or a very high-end oil pastel or oil bar). The cadmium reds are actually red, with no detectable off-primary coloration. The yellows are eye-popping, even on very bright paper. The sticks have a slightly hard feel, but are creamy and buttery, especially once the tooth of the support has been filled. Specialist colors have an odd kind of velvety texture, too, almost similar to working with soft pastels. I find the overall feel of Specialist oil pastels to be somewhat similar to Holbein, but have their own unique handling quality that I find very pleasant. There is enough pigment stuffed into each stick and they are soft enough to easily make very appealing impasto strokes. Sakura does not use a siccative in their formula for the Specialist line, unlike several other artist-grade oil pastels (so, they will never really dry, oxidize, or bloom). Sakura seems to really understand how to price-point their products. Their Expressionist oil pastels, though very pleasant to work with and probably the best for the money in their respective class, cannot compare with the look and feel of Sakura's Specialist line. I've used Mungyo Gallery Artist Extra Soft oil pastels and they are very nice to work with, but Mungyo has almost nothing to say concerning the lightfastness of the pigments they use. Lightfastness data for Mungyo Gallery Artist Extra Soft just isn't available. Mungyo claims that their product is "fade-resistant," which does not inspire confidence. That's too bad, because the Gallery Artist Extra Soft oil pastels have a nice look and feel for the price. Anyone interested in trying a professional quality product would do well with Specialist oil pastels. They cost less than half what other brands cost, yet give you that same experience of working with soft, densely-pigmented sticks. I will definitely be adding sticks of open stock to my collection. Highly recommended.

First time I used it to add smooth skin tone on portrait painting and I must say it is really good than other pastels in this price range. This is my second review and I must say it is fantastic colors. I usually use Sennelier. Because they are soft and smooth like butter. But these colors are quite harder than sennelier. And this result to do fine details and also they are enough soft, so that you can easily blend them on papers.

The set arrived in fine shape. The sticks are large and full pigment loaded. They blend nice and layer reasonably are creamy but don't go on goopy. Very pleased with them, seeing there are not many professional oil pastel brands available in the market for those that want quality and don't want to be forced to purchase Sennelier oil pastels all the time. Very pleased will buy another set-

This is the best quality of oil pastels you can get at this price. Super blending, light fastness, deep colours, shades. May be little behind Sennelier, but much ahead of any other brand that I have used. Worth every penny. Shade variety should increase to give other brands a run for money. Am happy at my level

How are these not more spoken of? Amazing. Smooth and pigmented.
