## Description

Created in the 1940's in collaboration with Picasso, these creamy, lipstick-like pastels are rich in pigment, cover well and have outstanding opacity and lightfastness. They may be thinned with turpentine and worked with a brush, are acid-free and can be applied to any surface. The set includes 72 color pastels.

Review: Erm, I'm in love. - I didn't realise these were trial/tester/taster sized (measure about 3.5 x 0.5cm), smaller than an actual lipstick!!! Anyway, that is the only negative, for these are a real eye opener to what real oil pastels are and can do. And I though oil pastels were all the same! I bought a cheap box of Faber Castell pastels (not even as cheap as those raved about Pentel pastels) last year and found them crumbly, difficult or impossible to blend (some are so resistant that once apple, do not move from the surface, resisting any blending, even with solvent/ODM) and plain rancid, kept so long forgotten about in my cupboard. The colour varied too, some were semi transparent (full of binder no doubt), others were super bright and fine, were the texture not so poor. These in comparison, being artist quality, are in all earnest, beautiful to use. They have no smell, are so soft that when I wipe them clean between my fingertips they seem to melt (and indeed do at higher temps), and light strokes are so pigmented, the colour stretches. They are so, so, so easy to blend - with finger, stump and yes, solvent. They layer easily, and being oil pastels you can't be mean with your touch, but several layers only add such depth, form and rich colour. I would say they're softer than lipstick. I also bought the Sennelier transparent oil pastel blender before this set and that enough convinced me to try these pastels for it's texture astounded me (and alas, not included in this set), another great tool for blending and in many cases, better than your finger (I thought I'd be clever and try a plain wax candle, and nope, they don't work the same, if at all, for they are not the same thing: candle wax at RT is hard, the pastel blender is as soft as the pastels themselves in the same conditions.) All the pastels wear out too quickly for my taste but that depends on pressure and how many layers you apply, as does the blender, but they all clean easily with your finger. No crumbling yet (you know, hard bits of hard pastel all over the place that are so hard, that only a lighter will melt), as I've seen. I am dreading having to replace them for the real sized pastels will be costly individually. The selection is wide, from earth shades, a flesh I think, all the primaries and many secondaries, and best of all, a selection of chromatic greys. And may I note, the white is the softest yet, it is so creamy it resembles oil paint. They suggest their own oil pastel paper, but I prefer smoother paper, so that the pastel does not fight with the grain. This way, I don't lose so much pastel to the the paper either. Also, unlike non-professional pastels, they're not permanent, that is, works smudge easily. Keep these away form the kids, they're far too expensive for play.
Review: Love these! - What a delight to use these pastels. Rich, buttery and full of colour. I used every way of blending I could think of including fingers, pencil blend and blending stumps. Whichever way, they blend easily - where I went wrong or ended up with too much pastel I found it easy to scrape off with a knife so I could rework it. I recommend making your own colour chart because the stick colour and actual colour can be quite different. It really helped me match colours - especially for skin tone. I love the idea the pastels needed for portraits are in one box, which I thought was great value, but I soon found I needed additional pastels to bolster the colour range - especially greens. I'm a beginner and while my work will never be a professional standard it benefitted so much from using these - so I highly recommend them to everyone.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can this set be supplemented with open stock/**
A: Yes. There are 120 total colors. This set includes 72 of those colors. All 120 colors including the transparent blending medium stick can purchased open stock (individually) at art stores.

**Q: Does this include the oil blender stick?**
A: Sorry, I am not aware of anything called an oil blender stick.  To do any blending with oil pastels, I would use a small water color brush and Turpinoid or other solvent.  I think an oil blender stick sounds interesting, and I'll look into it.

**Q: Does the assorted set of 72 include the colors in the portrait set?**
A: Yes

**Q: Can these be using on top of acrylic paints to finish out a canvas?**
A: OP on top of acrylic is fine. Acrylic on top of OP is not at all fine.

Works in OP are not easily made to be archival and OP always remains workable, while acrylic dries. Fixatives aren’t necessarily a great solution for a mixed media painting but then again maybe you’ll find one that works for all your media, and OP is generally framed under glass. (I have seen some very impressive videos for epoxy on top of OP on wood panels, which would probably work fine with acrylic.) If your intention was to use OP more like a drawing medium on the tip, you might want to look into oil sticks, which are similar to OP but are oil paint so they dry eventually, and are therefore archival without preparing large amounts of epoxy
