The Portfolio Series Oil Pastels Classpack (300 count total) contains 12 assorted colors, 25 of each color. The Crayola Colors of the Word Classroom Pack includes 24 colors that have been specially designed to represent the growing diversity around the world.Nothing invites childlike creativity so much as having copious cheap supplies that you know are a child's supply and don't have to worry about wasting. Plus, the cylindrical shape and tapered point of the pastel crayons allow for easy handling and detailed drawing. This certainly held true for the oil pastels, which have a medium texture as cheap oil pastels go, only average crumbliness and a good color range in the 28 color set. You can also scribble a heavy swatch on some paper and pick up the colour with a wet brush as you might with watercolours, which is how I did most of the shadows on the surface and the wall.

The main selling point of these oil pastels is that they’re watersoluble, so how well do they perform in this regard?Sadly they don’t dissolve quite as easily as the Cretacolor AquaStics; the Crayola Portfolio pastels do require a fair bit of scrubbing with a wet brush, and even then, you can generally still see some of the original pastel marks. I used the white stick to lighten highlights on the apple with some visible effect although it wasn't fully opaque the way a Sennelier highlight would.

They may be a very good choice for signs and posters where lightfastness isn't an issue but covering large areas with bold color could otherwise cost a lot. These come in 16 color and 28 color packs or in a classpack with 24 each of 10 colors and 48 each of black and white. It may be a good thing for an adult artist to have a set of these around as a block-breaker in moments of artistic insecurity or shortage of ideas. Each student can become an oil pastel artist, blending the 12 assorted colors dry or adding water for beautiful watercolor effects.
