Pentel’s top-tier oil pastel, made for artists who want color that moves. The Specialist line is formulated for rich, even pigment laydown and a smooth, buttery stroke that glides across the page without crumbling. Colors blend easily by rubbing with a fingertip or tissue, softening into gentle gradients, and layer over one another to mix directly on the paper for depth you can’t get from a single stick.
These are the pastels recommended by the Japan Chalk Art Association for café and restaurant signboard art, where bold color and clean blending matter. They’re equally at home in a sketchbook, on canvas, or on toned paper.
