Oil pastel lightfast test results (Sennelier, Neopastel, Mungyo, Paul Rubens)

Hi! ♥ While I was in Spain I did this lightfast test of a few oil pastel sticks of each brand that I have. I exposed them to strong sun light for the month of August and here I have the results. I hope it’s interesting 🙂 Despite the results I will continue to use them all since I don’t think any will fade unless you leave your paintings sunbathing for a long long time.
Thanks for watching!

Good to know that Mungyos held up well except for the coral. They are my favourite brand - not too soft as sennelier and not as hard as caran d'ache. Rich Allan Bass did a similar test on his channel, you may compare your results with his.

thank you! I will check it, I didn’t know. I was surprised by Mungyo because I expected them to fade quite a bit, same for Paul Rubens. It’s possible that some of the other pinks also fade like that but I can’t know.

@@YolandaBlazquez Often in the ranges of pink and reds there is few with the lowest light-fastness. One star is very low. Generally I choose 3, 4, or 5. Especially if it is oil pastels because I don't want to varnish them. If you want to varnish, the brand Lascaux sell an anti-uv gloss in spray.

@YolandaBlazquez 9 ай бұрын

@@Jasmine_Shelby_art that’s true, pinks are prone to fading but I always check the color charts and make sure to only buy the ones with medium to high resistance to light. I don’t like varnishing them either but the Sennelier fixative was useful for the tests.

Woo, si que cambió el 2ºcoral 😲 justamente los dos colores que cambiaron eran similares, puede ser que ambos coincidan en algún pigmento que aguante menos? 🤔 Me encantó que hicieras esta prueba, la verdad es que esperaba que más colores hubieran perdido intensidad!

Pues es que Mungyo (ni Paul Rubens) especifican qué pigmentos usan así que a saber… Yo también! Pensé que éstos, al ser bastante más económicos, se aclararían mucho pero me sorprendieron para bien 😊

Does anyone know if the Mungyo OP's are non-toxic? There is limited information available, and no one seems to know. I have the gallery set, and there is no safety label. There used to be an AP label, but not anymore. I am concerned that safety standards have changed.

@YolandaBlazquez 2 ай бұрын

I can’t give you a definitive answer because as you said, the information available is quite limited but before I bought my set I compared the safety data sheet of the old ones vs the newest ones without the AP label and in the ingredients lists nothing seems suspicious. My guess is that they didn’t ask for the certificate, I don’t think they are using pigments made with heavy metals because otherwise I imagine they would be more expensive but who knows.

@user-uw9qz9vy7s 9 ай бұрын

Could the coral by sennelier be not original product? Or maybe it is the problem of the series? It is not okey, if the professional brand has such low lightfastness...

@YolandaBlazquez 9 ай бұрын

I bought them all in the same place so I think they are all original. I could imagine that Coral also lasts well as long as you don’t expose it directly to sunlight like I did. I will continue to use it as usual 🙂

@@YolandaBlazquez Many colors mixed with a majority of white are more likely to fail. This true in all mediums. Compare this #200 Mandarine: PO73 and much less white.

@@YolandaBlazquez Creo (no me tomes la palabra al 100%) que es por que sennelier (asi como bastantes otras marcas) no hace sus propios test de resistencia a la luz sino que se fian de lo que marcan los fabricantes de pigmentos, y tengo entendido que son calificaciones algo antiguas. Tocaria hacer una revision o algo 😅

@rablopez 6 ай бұрын

He investigado y sennelier en realidad es un fraude a ese respecto, sobre todo en pasteles secos. En realidad no debería ser raro, sennelier no es tan caro, y marcas que en verdad cumplan en calidad ligth fast cuestan más caras. La especialidad de sennelier parece ser la obtención de la mayor variedad de pigmento y la gama más brillante de color, pero eso no implica del todo la mejor calidad.

@YolandaBlazquez 6 ай бұрын

@@rablopez De sus pasteles secos hay bastantes que son fugitivos por lo que he visto, especialmente en tonos magenta-violeta pero como en tantas otras marcas, según el pigmento usado. Siempre me aseguro de no comprar los que no son resistentes a la luz y así me evito problemas. En el caso de este pastel al óleo particular no sé qué ha pasado. Tal vez sí que aguante bien en condiciones de museo pero no así de expuesto a un sol tan intenso. Pienso que es una marca excelente la verdad ☺

Hi Yolanda! Thanks for sharing but I have to say that the light-fastness is indicate on each colour stick by colour for the brands Caran d'Ache and Sennelier. No need to test because it cost a lot of money to such brands to test the light-fastness and they do with performant technology to determined if , for example, for 50 years or more (as well as for Schmincke Extra-soft pastels or other good brands for painting). You can also require for the charts and you will even perhaps find also the reference about opacity (interesting if you work by layers). Also, I suppose the light-fastness can vary depending to the thin or bold layer, diluted or not with turpentine, that is known by the factory engineering. About Mungyo, I don't know if they do the test. I am waiting for their response to my email. Thanks for sharing. But please trust the reputation of well known brands for professional because they are in competition and none risk to fall down.

@YolandaBlazquez 9 ай бұрын

I do trust them, that’s why I said this is probably not the best way to do a proper lightfastness test. The interesting thing is that the color that faded had 3 out of 3 stars meaning it had maximum light resistant while the other pink had 2 stars and didn’t fade at all. I didn’t dilute them or do anything other than applying them thickly 🙂

@Jasmine_Shelby_art 9 ай бұрын

@@YolandaBlazquez That's weird . I tend to trust more Caran d'Ache but they say Sennelier is more creamy, so depending of the need we will not escape some day to choose a brand also for the texture and get several brands. Thank you Yolanda for bringing this details.

@queenria7 2 ай бұрын

"Trust the brand" is not always a good idea. Actually it can be a very BAD idea, as I have just found out from another commenter here who has done more research on Sennelier. EDIT: I found this out myself when lightfast testing testing my colored pencils and watercolor pencils. Some of the Faber Castell ones were not as lightfast as they claimed to be!

@twk8520 15 күн бұрын

Many brands colors have been proven to be not light-fast even if covered up. Tests have also been done by scientists and the pigments aren't even right and replaced with synthetics. I personally layer every color never relying on one single color plus it's how I work.
