Arrtx Soft Oil Pastels & Painting Monet's Water Lilies 🖍️ 48 color swatches, review & comparison

I'm trying out the Arrtx Artist Soft Oil Pastels (48 color set) with detailed swatches, blending & mixing tests, comparing them to all my other oil pastel brands, and taking a look at how complete this color selection is for this review.
... and then paint a simple, (hopefully!) beginner-friendly oil pastel landscape based on Monet's Water Lilies. Impressionist art is wonderful for testing new art materials, with their vibrant and eclectic colors leaving so much room for experimenting, and I hope you enjoy this step-by-step tutorial!
