Oil pastels

An oil pastel consists of a mixture of pigment, a stabilizer and a binder. The binder is often a wax or an oil. It is a material that only came into use in the early 1900s, as an expressive tool for artists.

You can use oil pastels on different surfaces without having to prepare them. In this blog you can read about the properties. A short summary: Sennelier is the crème de la crème of oil pastels and Pentel has nice budget sets.
