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.

Review: No derivatives of coconut or palm so... - I decided to purchase these in early January of twenty twenty four when they were marked down at around ten something in $$$ (when I added them to the cart though, it went up to sixteen something 🫠 still better in $$$ in comparison 🤷‍♀️) I read online that these pastels are made from refined Safflower Oil throughout the production process it undergoes so as a result of that I decided to try my luck at using them. These oil pastels are incredibly creamy as well as highly pigmented and since I previously used the chalky variation of the SENNELIER pastels in my Drawing 2 class while I was working on my in-class and take home assignments I decided I'd give the oil pastels a chance since even the chalky variation was highly pigmented to the point where it showed up quite vividly on my skin and so I wanted to experiment further with the oil pastels... There's still a learning curve I'm trying to overcome. P.S: Make sure to refrigerate them, for the sake of longevity and . durability since otherwise they'll turn/melt and become too soft. P.S: They're beautiful with ease in blendability the set of six is incredibly high quality in their pigments the set can be snatched up at a value for the money on the first of the month of the new year. However, putting the pigments near the eyes... Is not recommended (I say so from experience).

## 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
