## Long description

Astra oil pastels, 36 colors — a set designed for drawing, sketching and blending with consistently soft, pigmented sticks. The compact assortment includes a broad range of hues that layer smoothly and respond well to smudging and blending techniques.

The format and color selection make the set practical for students, hobbyists and illustrators working on studies, plein air sketches and expressive artwork that requires vibrant, blendable color.
Advantages

The set’s compact packaging keeps the pastels organized and accessible for studio, classroom or outdoor use.

 Texture: soft, creamy, blendable

How to use
Select a suitable paper or primed surface and arrange colors for easy access. Apply pastels directly for opaque coverage or use light strokes to build translucent layers. Blend tones with a finger, tortillon or soft cloth to achieve smooth gradients and subtle transitions. For detailed lines and highlights, work with the pastel edge or refine with compatible drawing tools. If combining with other media, test adhesion and compatibility on a scrap before applying to the main work.
Usage recommendations
Store pastels flat in their box to prevent crumbling and keep them protected from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Use fixative sprays specifically formulated for oil pastels if permanent protection is required, testing on a sample first. Clean blending tools between colors to avoid unintended color contamination.
