Materials & Craftsmanship
Faber-Castell Goldfaber Studio Oil Pastels are expertly crafted to deliver rich colour, smooth application, and versatile creative performance. Each pastel features a classic wax-based formulation, giving it the characteristic soft, slightly oily texture that allows colour to glide effortlessly across a variety of surfaces. This waxy consistency makes the pastels easy to control while also supporting effective blending, layering, and colour mixing.
Developed as part of the Goldfaber Studio range, these oil pastels reflect Faber-Castell’s long-standing expertise in fine art materials. The formulation is designed to balance vibrancy with usability, ensuring consistent colour laydown and dependable results. Supplied in a sturdy cardboard box, the set keeps pastels organised and protected, making it suitable for studio use, classrooms, or creative work at home.
Product Features & Usage Scenarios
This set contains 36 oil pastels, offering a carefully selected palette that includes 12 bright and unusually intense colours. The strong pigmentation allows artists to create bold, expressive artwork, while the blendable waxy texture enables smooth transitions and the creation of unlimited intermediate hues. Colours can be layered, smudged, or blended directly on the surface to achieve depth, shading, and painterly effects.
Goldfaber Studio Oil Pastels are particularly well suited for beginners and students, thanks to their forgiving nature and ease of use, but they also offer enough versatility for more experienced artists exploring mixed media. They are compatible with a wide range of surfaces and techniques, including encaustic work, graffiti-style art, and effects similar to oil painting, tempera, or even watercolour-inspired layering.
Ideal for sketching, illustration, experimental techniques, and expressive artwork, these oil pastels can be used in art classes, studios, or creative home projects. Their flexibility makes them an excellent choice for artists looking to explore texture, colour intensity, and creative freedom.
