- I'd heard good things about the new(ish) Haiya oil pastels from Paul Rubens, and am very grateful to them for sending me the 72 set. I have to say - I wasn't at all disappointed! I also compare them with Sennelier and Paul Rubens' older oil pastels.

(As an Amazon & Jackson's Art Associate, I earn a small amount from my purchases, which doesn't affect the price for you. I'm very grateful when you purchase anything via my links, thank you!
I love your swatch videos! Not only comparing the entire pack with itself, but with other brands as well. Love how meticulous you are in checking everything out for us so we don't have to do it ourselves! As for the painting, absolutely amazing! I love the textures, just beautiful! Keep up the wonderful work!
Agreed!
Thank you! It's the kind of thing I liked to do anyway, before I started making videos, just for fun!
I absolutely love the painting you did with those. ❤
Thank you!!
Thanks for the video! 😍 Loved your review and painting!!
Thank you!
Helen, you are fantastic, I always learn something new on your channel. Love how you demonstrate new art products and your expertise. Nice piece with the new oil pastels. Now I want the book AND the pastels!!!
😊 Thank you! I don't have much expertise, but like experimenting! I can hand on heart say both the book and oil pastels are lovely.
I love how good this oil pastels looks like... I buy this 72 set too, and is almost here..i'm so anxious... thanks for the review and this beautiful art 😍
Oh, I hope you really enjoy it!! Thanks!
From my understanding the HAIYA were specifically designed to be dupes of Sennelier so its unsurprising to me that they are so similar. I just got my set in not too long ago and love them!
Love this x
Wow. Really lovely! You inspire me and I think I want to order some Haiya oil pastels 😊
Thank you!!
Beautiful!!!!! Love those colors!
Thanks!
I love your finished piece, it’s beautiful!! These are quite impressive oil pastels! I will have to try a few different blending options to find the non-finger method that will work for me, but, I might order a set of these sometime 😊 (Christmas gift from my husband perhaps? 😅). They are definitely at a better price point to get a good number of colours in a nice soft texture (and yet not feel overly guilty if they aren’t used all the time). So glad you had these to review!!
Yep, I'm definitely impressed at them being good all-rounders, if not quite the same clarity of colour as the Senneliers once blended. I'm hoping I can find the Gelato wedges sold on their own, or something very similar, as I loved using it!
What a fantastic landscape😮you are so good at this ! Loved watching the work and now I want the book and the pastels 😂
Thanks so much! Sorry about that! They are both lovely though.
Same.
Very nice video you are so talented❤
Thanks, that's very kind!
Lovely! The picture ( end result ), & the comparison of pastels. You’re very observant to see the cloudiness of Haiya’s, & I thought the colour blue was a little lighter than the older pastels & Sennelier or was it my eyes?! Thanks for the review.
Thanks! The Haiyas must have some kind of binder or something that makes them a consistent texture and stick colour (compared to the laydown colour) which compromises the pigments a bit.
I couldn't find identical colours to start with, so yes, the blues varied a bit!
Fabulous ❤
Thanks!
this is another great video, thank you! and what a beautiful piece of art you created at the end there! and now i ask myself: did you have to clean the sponge every time you used it on another colour? also, have you ever tried cosmetic sponges since you mentioned you never had a better wedge for blending?
Thanks ever so much! I gave the sponge a quick wipe on paper towel if I was switching between very different colours. Thank you, yes - I've tried cosmetic sponges, and they are way too soft for me unfortunately!
Thank you for sharing. Sennelier oil pastels are professional, they provide pigment consistency and lightfastness while all Chinese and Korean brands do not. It speaks for itself. Still, the price is nice and for most techniques, they work well. I have this set too. I like it.
Thanks for your thoughts! I just wished I actually liked using the Senneliers more!
I dont use pastels anymore but these are such a fun medium. Love the painting! beautiful
Thank you!
I have to admit that you managed to make me think about oil pastels again. Maybe I'll try again to work with them in the future - and with a high quality ones, like these ones. But for now I'm having a lot of fun and joy with soft pastels (Schmincke) combining them with waterolors and then color pencils.🥰😇🥰 If you ever decide to buy some soft pastels and play with them I highly recommend the Schmincke ones, because they're superb.👌 It's like working with pure pigment, and you can mix them with anything you want (water, oil, acrylic binder ...). And your painting at the end is simply😍
Have a great weekend! 🌞💞
That sounds wonderful! I have some nice soft pastels by Jackson's Art, and some harder Rembrandt ones, but I've not played with them much yet. I didn't know you could do that with them, thanks!!
@@helencryer You're more than welcome!😊 I should probably explain that I'm an abstract artist and maybe that's the reason why I love soft pastels so much. I forgot to mention - i have some Rembrandt ones too, and they're great, but the Schm. ones are really soft. BTW you can scrap the soft pastels with a sharp knife. But you can also apply them with different spounges or a piece of a bit more sturdy paper left overs etc. And for all the details you can then use watercolours or colored pencils ... 😁 If I ever see you experiment with them, I'll share with you more. 😉💞
It's interesting to see how other people's experience with the same products differs. I just have not gotten on with the Haiya - I don't like the texture, they are too oily, sticky and messy in my experience with them. The Sennelier have been much more enjoyable to work with. That being said, I'm still using the Haiya and trying to figure out a way for them to work with my style. I love how this painting turned out!
That's so interesting! I've tried really hard to love the Sennelier because of their price and name, but I could feel myself relaxing so much more with the Haiya. I'm not super experienced with oil pastels though, so who knows - over time my opinions might change as I get more used to them. I wonder if differing air temperatures have anything to do with it either?
Thanks!
@@helencryer It could be. I'm in a fairly arid part of the States. My favorite pastels to work with are the Caran d'Ache Neopastels, which are also quite pricey. I think I just have champagne tastes in art supplies. 🙃
Totally agree with your comments on these pastels, dont like them at all.
So cool
Starting a live soon
Loved the video, i have the Haiya Rubens coming tomorrow, where did you find that blending wedge
Thanks! It's the firm sponge that comes with Faber-Castell Gelatos sets of 15.
Gorgeous finished piece, you should make into an art print and sell it. I definitely fancy a set of these
Thanks! Well, it's someone else's design (from the book), but thank you for your encouragement!
A thoroughly captivating and enjoyable video and, much to my surprise, I absolutely love your finished work! It looked like fun to draw and I adore the result. Nice Pastels at a very affordable price me thinks. ❤
Thanks Panda!! They are definitely super nice to work with!
Lovely picture! Never fancied oil pastels but maybe….. 🤔
Thanks! Just a cheerful messy medium!
The foam sponge is a gienus idea! ❤
Hello there!
Thank you for this video.
Where can I find this set?
Amazon US only carries the 48 set. Jerry's Artarama and Blick doesn't sell that brand.
I dont know where to buy them!
I'm so sorry, I'm in the UK, and don't know about the US. All I can suggest is working through the first few pages of a Google search for them.
Lovely sketch Helen. I’m in Australia and not sure that these are available here (-: Marion
Thanks! They're relatively new, so maybe soon?
Have you tried the qtips with the pointed ends? I’ve found them to be better than the facial sponges. Also did you notice if the greens in the hiya set have the same issues as greens seem to have in all the sets of kind of being a bit splotchy? Also beautiful landscape! 😊
I have, thank you! I think they're OK for blending smaller areas, but this block I used in the video was perfect for bigger areas too, and also had sharp edges for really good lines. Yes, I don't enjoying using any makeup sponges/silicone tipped sticks/beauty blenders at all. They're all too soft, and in the case of silicone, don't move the oil pastel round in the right way.
@@helencryer I may have to get some gelatos just for the sponge then, I was thinking it was essentially the same as the make up sponges by the look of it. Thanks for sharing all this info!
I'm going to keep an eye out for similar foam in packaging etc in the meantime!
Oh, the greens were a good consistency in the Haiya set too. Shame they didn't have a really good dark one, but between all the sets I have, I'm probably OK now!
@@helencryer if you find any packs of them Id definitely be interested, and I’m also going to be picking up some of the hiya oil pastels now too, especially if the greens are good! Thanks!
@@GreenSharpieScience I haven't so far, but fingers crossed!
Looking to try these for sure. Can you tell me more about the sponge you used.?
The sponge came in a Faber-Castell Translucent Gelatos set of 12. It was the perfect shape I felt! It's much firmer than any make-up sponges/beauty blenders/silicone nail stick things though. It barely squashes in at all when you press it. I can't find them sold separately though!!
@@helencryer yeah, I can’t find it either
What do you use the gelatos for
They're like looser oil pastels - so for loose sketch stuff, mixed media mark making. They're water soluble too. I only just got some - here's the video I did on them:
ruclips.net/video/Pz5Asi5FgmI/видео.html
I ordered Haiya 72 set from Aliexpress but they're nowhere as soft as shown in the video. I wonder if my colder ambient temperature makes the difference? They're not creamy at all and not easy to blend out.
I think temperature makes a difference, but I'm still surprised to hear they're not creamy - unless they are stored really cold?
@@helencryer Hi Helen, my room temperature is 65F. From the packaging to all the contents and labeling, my received product looks identical to what's on the video, except for softness. What is your room temperature?
Mine is around 68 in the winter when the heating is on, and more variable in the summer, so I really don't know why yours isn't creamy. I've not heard of anyone else finding theirs to be hard either, so wondering if yours is faulty?
@@helencryer I was wondering the same whether I got a fake or faulty item from Aliexpress, but who would go through so much trouble to make a counterfeit with the same packaging and colors? These are just as hard as Mungyo. I also have new SoHo and those are much creamier than this. So confused. Perhaps they had a bad batch...
Mine are definitely softer than Mungyo. What a pain!
I'm perplexed by "haiya." Is there anything on the box about what's meant by the name? Google maintains that Chinese, Japanese, and Korean people use the word to express disappointment or unhappiness about a bad event. Was it Qiong Hai Ya in full? A core member of the Fire Shrine in Final Fantasy then, reaching back to a legend perhaps? That doesn't strike me as making any more sense for oil pastels. Not that "Oreo" making no sense as a cookie name keeps me from eating them.
The box doesn't say anything at all about it, in English. Just Haiya. That's hilarious though! My art materials are already expressing disappointment and unhappiness in my art! 🤣
@@helencryer LOL, maybe they're just miffed at being put in a box. They'll be happier at your place.
The word on the box replaces the second character, from"呀”to“压”. It is a homophone, so the meaning changed. The two words on the box means: "hai" (similar to excited) and "ya" (pressed). I think this word was created by businesses to highlight its soft characteristics, because this word is not used in daily life(๑＞ڡ＜)☆
Japanese don’t have “haiya” in our vocabulary
no pink 😕
Well, a few warm pinks, and a purpley pink, but maybe the range of pinks isn't bigger because they actually are lightfast, and pinks usually aren't very lightfast.
Where have I seen those colour names and numbers before...hmmmm? Sennelier oil pastels maybe😅
Yep!!
Did you know these are a rip off of sennelier? They even have the same names and numbers as sennelier. Similar formulation, shape and wrapping. Just like the gallery mungyos are a rip off of neopastels with the same characteristics, names and numbers. I realized this when I bought a 48 set of neopastels and realized that it was the same exact set as the 48 set of mungyos. Same names, same colors, same numbers. Luckily the colors are not the exact same as they vary, but they are a copy nonetheless.
I am confused as to why no one on youtube has realized this?
I think people have realised this - I pointed out the similar names and said (in this or maybe another video), that these are obviously released to compete with Sennelier Oil Pastels. I didn't find them to be the same consistency though (I find Senneliers very inconsistent), and the Haiya wrapping is far nicer than the Senneliers in my opinion, but mix in a slightly chalkier way, so it's for people to choose which they prefer.
I've never used Neopastels, so couldn't comment on those.
Eeee…😬🫣 anxious to see what you think of these. 🍀 LOL
#1 I forgot PR sent you these, but seeing how you liked them I’m so glad they sent you the full set. The best part is hearing that you didn’t just like the results, but that you enjoyed using them. Whew! Now I’m free of enabler guilt 🤭 #2 loved all the swatch comparisons. I wonder if they may be a bit creamer due to a touch of white that makes the blending …er…ookie?. Kinda reminds me of some blending w/the Mungyo’s #3. Great painting at the end. Never thought to use a sponge…seems to give a nice texture w/the tooth of the paper. Lastly, as always Helen, thank you for just an all around lovely video I enjoyed watching while snuggling with my sweet cat Millie. 👋💜👋
@@templemoore3799 ditto that...lovely video helen...and thanks for the swatching and comparisons...love to try those Mungyo...120 set they have now...they were supposedly nice too...though never see reviews bout them anymore....janis
@@templemoore3799Thanks! I'd happily have spent the money on these myself - feel like they're very worth it, and for things that don't require ultra-clear colours I'll be reaching for these over the Sennelier, because I just don't enjoy dealing with the different textures of the Senneliers. I was thinking there must be some kind of filled or binder equivalent that gives the Haiya their more consistent textures, but also makes them have that white thing going on in mixing. Hope you and Millie have a good day!
@@kookatsoonjanThank you! I did a Mungyo oil pastel review not that long ago, and really enjoy them too (it was the one where I did the eye picture) - I didn't compare them here, because I felt like the Haiya are aimed at competing with the Senneliers, and they're both quite a bit softer than the Mungyos. In a similar way to the Haiya, the Mungyos have a consistent texture across the range, and their colours are really good, and lay down the same as how the sticks look.
