| | Oil pastel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Oil pastel is a painting and drawing medium with characteristics similar to pastels and wax crayons. | | | Since oil pastels are a relatively new invention, the effects of dust and light on oil pastel works is not yet known; inability to age gracefully would limit their value in galleries, so many are translated into a print form by lithography or its variant giclcées. | | | Oil pastels are considered a fast medium because they are easy to paint with and not cumbersome to carry around, for this reason they are often used for sketching but can also be used for sustained works. |

| | Pastel Lesson - Fine Art Instruction |
| | Often, pastel was used to make studies for paintings in oil. | | | Pastels are great to use - they offer the best of both painting and drawing. | | | This directness offers amazing possibilities for experimentation, personal expression, and doing studies or finished works which are much quicker than painting with oils or even acrylics, and the number of materials required is smaller: the pastel pencil or stick, and paper in a pad, or paper on a drawing board. |

| | FAQ's on Oil Pastels |
| | This is because oil pastel never really dries and forever remains somewhat workable – oil paint on top of it would crack and generally be unstable.; whereas the oil paint creates a hard skin and creates a firm base for the oil pastel on top of it. | | | The nature of the oil pastel medium is to be self-fixing. | | | This is what makes oil pastels different from oil sticks, which are oil paints in stick form and dry with a skin like any other oil paint. |
