How to use

Select an appropriate surface such as textured drawing paper or pastel paper to enhance tooth and colour grip. Apply oil pastels with light to medium pressure for initial layers, then build values and chroma by adding subsequent strokes. Blend directly with fingers, paper stumps or a soft cloth for smooth transitions; for more fluid effects, use a small amount of suitable solvent on a cloth or brush. Clean edges by trimming the pastel stick if precise lines are required.

Usage recommendations

Store the pastels in a dry, cool place and avoid exposing them to direct sunlight. Use fixative sprays designed for oil pastels or a light varnish for long-term preservation on finished works, testing compatibility on a sample first. When working with solvents, ensure adequate ventilation and follow manufacturer safety instructions.
