FAQs
What kind of paper should I use?

How do I blend the pastels?

Can I use these pastels on canvas?
Yes, oil pastels work well on canvas. However, prepare the canvas with gesso for better adhesion.
How do I clean up after using oil pastels?

How should I store my oil pastels?
Store the pastels in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider placing them in a case to avoid damage.

What is the best way to transport finished artwork?

Troubleshooting
Pastels are smudging excessively.
Use a fixative spray or work on a paper that absorbs the pastels better. Allow each layer to set slightly before adding the next.
