Nataraj Oil Pastels 90 mm, set of 24 Colors contains 24 oil-based pastel sticks, each 90 mm in length, designed for drawing, blending and mixed-media artwork.

The compact set is suitable for both quick sketches and more detailed colour studies, allowing artists to mix tones and create textured effects with ease.

Advantages

Each 90 mm stick offers a comfortable grip for extended use and can be blended with fingers or tools for gradients and soft transitions. The set of 24 colors includes a balanced palette for primary mixing and subtle shading, making it versatile for various techniques such as scumbling, layering and burnishing.

How to use

Select colors from the 24-color set and apply directly to the chosen surface using the flat or edge of the stick for broad coverage or the tip for finer lines. Blend adjacent tones using a finger, blending stump or soft cloth to achieve smooth transitions; apply layers progressively for deeper hues and subtle nuances. Remove excess pigment carefully with a soft eraser suitable for oil pastels or fix gently with a spray fixative designed for oil-based pastels when working on finished pieces.

Usage recommendations

Store the pastels in a dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve color integrity. Use suitable paper weight (160 g/m² or higher recommended) or primed surfaces to prevent show-through and enable effective blending. Test blending and fixative compatibility on a scrap before applying to final work.
