Overview
An art classroom or home studio table gets a flexible pastel in this Crayola Portfolio Series set. The sticks have a creamy consistency and can be used dry or blended with a wet brush for watercolor effects. The body is round and the tip is bold.
Wet or dry use is the reason to look at this set over a plain oil pastel stick: a brush with water spreads the color into washes. The color mix may vary, and some spec fields conflict, so check what arrives.
Who it's for
Students and hobbyists exploring mixed techniques can lay color dry, then soften it with a damp brush. Anyone who needs a guaranteed color list or professional pigment ratings should look at other sets.
Pros and cons
- Works dry or with a wet brush
- Dry colors blend into secondary tones

- Ambidextrous round body
- Colors may vary from the set shown
- Not water resistant once applied
- Specs show conflicting unit count
- Exact color list not provided
Performance notes
Used dry, the creamy sticks blend into true secondary colors where strokes overlap. A wet brush dissolves the pigment so it spreads like watercolor, which also means finished work stays sensitive to water. Results shift with the paper surface and how much water is loaded on the brush.
