• 12 oil pastels

Oil-based pastel formula.

Can oil pastels be blended?

• Yes — oil pastels blend easily on the paper surface with a finger, a blending stump, or a rag. Lighter colours blend into darker ones, and the creamy formula allows smooth gradations.

What's the difference between oil pastels and soft pastels?

• Oil pastels use an oil and wax binder — they're creamy, water-resistant, and don't create fine dust. Soft pastels (chalk pastels) use a gum binder, are more powdery, produce a matte finish, and need fixing spray to protect finished work. Oil pastels are generally easier for younger users.

Do oil pastels work on canvas?

• Yes — oil pastels apply well to canvas, particularly gesso-primed surfaces. They work with oil mediums and can be thinned with mineral spirits for wash effects. ---
