Oil Pastels are a popular drawing and sketching medium. They are less powdery and harder to blend than soft pastels. Oil pastels provide a bold hard edge appearance to finished works. Oil pastels can be manipulated with solvents or oil for a softer edge blending. Oil pastels are made with color pigment mixed with a non-drying oil and wax binder. The non-drying nature of oil pastels requires final works to be sprayed with a fixative and/or framed behind glass.
