Behind the Design

SAKURA developed the Crepas Specialist line in direct response to feedback from working professionals who found standard oil pastels limiting. The result is a set built around two core decisions: pigment quality and stick geometry.

The pigment formulation prioritizes color rendering accuracy and light resistance, both critical for work that needs to last or be reproduced. The square cross-section is the less obvious but equally considered choice. Most oil pastels are round, which restricts mark-making to a single edge or the broad side. A square stick gives the user four distinct edges for line work plus two broad faces for coverage, without any tool change.

The 85-color set steps up further with a wooden presentation box, reflecting its position as the top-tier configuration. All sets are designed around a refill system, so individual colors can be replaced as they run out rather than replacing the entire set.

A professional-grade oil pastel set built around a square stick form that lets you switch between broad area fills and crisp line work without swapping tools. High-quality pigments deliver strong color rendering and light resistance, and individual sticks are sold separately for refilling.
