MEEDEN Jumbo Soft Oil Pastels — 38ml Artist-Grade Pastels Set

Product review

Extra-large capacity for extended work: Each MEEDEN jumbo oil pastel is built with an oversized 20mm×120mm profile and contains 38ml of pigment-rich formulation. The large dimensions reduce the need for frequent replacement during lengthy sessions, making them well suited to artists tackling broad canvases, murals, landscapes and still-lifes.

High-quality pigments and a wide palette: Formulated with premium raw materials and a controlled pigment ratio, the line offers strong saturation and consistent coverage. While the brand produces a palette of 42 vivid shades, the set here ships as a six-piece selection chosen to cover sketching, illustration accents and decorative applications.

Creamy, oil-like consistency: The pastels have a soft, buttery texture that behaves similarly to oil paint for layering, smudging, impasto and scraping techniques. They remain smooth under multiple layers and work well on a variety of supports, including pastel paper, canvas and wooden panels, allowing for both subtle blends and bold strokes.

Protective, portable packaging: Each stick is sealed in its own dust-proof, oxidation-resistant cylinder to reduce breakage and contamination. The sticks are lightweight enough to slip into a field kit, while the six-stick option is supplied with a dedicated wooden storage box to keep colors organized and safe between sessions.

Versatile use and gift-ready presentation: These jumbo pastels are aimed at experienced artists, comic illustrators and designers who need strong coverage and easy blending on large pieces. The compact, attractive wooden box and durable cylinders also make this selection suitable as a thoughtful gift for art students and creative friends during holidays and milestones.

VerdictThese jumbo oil pastels deliver long-lasting, creamy coverage ideal for studio canvases and plein-air work. The large 38ml sticks speed up broad color laying and the soft texture supports blending, layering, and textured techniques. Great for illustrators and advanced hobbyists who want a reliable, travel-ready set with protective packaging.
