Oil Pastels

Whether you’re looking for softer oil pastel with a delicious, buttery texture or perhaps a water-soluble oil pastel that can turn into a flowing watercolour paint, there’s plenty of oil pastels to choose from. 

Perhaps the messiest of the pastel family, oil pastels are an excellent drawing tool that offers a different experience to working with its dryer, chalkier counterparts, giving a more painterly effect that can be used with oil paints or oil bars.

With great brands such as Sennelier and Caran D’Ache which have a lovely smooth texture you can be sure that your next oil pastel purchase is going to be a good one!

There are oil pastel sets that are perfect for beginners that offer a good range of normally 12 colours to get you going from great brands such as Daler Rowney and Reeves, but if you feel you’re ready for a pastel that offers a silky smooth application and huge ranges of colours there are artists’ quality oil pastels offered in a variety of sets from brands such as Sennelier and Caran D’Ache.

There are always loads of individual oil pastels available, so there’s no need to worry about running out if you keep yourself well topped up!
