Rich colour with a creamy, blendable finish. The Faber-Castell Oil Pastels Set of 36 delivers 36 vibrant oil-based pastel colours with excellent opacity and a smooth, creamy consistency. These pastels produce intense, luminous colour that glides effortlessly across paper, canvas, and other surfaces, making them versatile tools for a wide range of pastel and mixed media techniques.
The oil-based formulation provides superior colour intensity compared to wax crayons, with good lightfastness and an acid-free composition for artwork that maintains its vibrancy over time. Each pastel blends easily with fingers or blending tools, and can be thinned with white spirit for wash effects reminiscent of oil painting.

Professional Tips
Layer colours from light to dark for the best results. Use the tip of the pastel for fine details and the flat side for broad coverage. Blend colours directly on the surface using fingers or a paper stump for smooth transitions. For a paint-like effect, apply white spirit with a brush over the pastel marks to dissolve and spread the colour. Scraping techniques can reveal underlying layers for textured effects.
