Oil Pastels |
|
Oil Pastels are a beautifully tactile medium which is ideal for larger scale paintings using vigorous strokes to build up a rich patina of waxy colour. Can be diluted for blending with turps, or white spirit. As the pastel dissolves it takes on the properties of thinned oil paint. Once dry the area can be worked on with dry oil pastel to add texture or detail. You can also use oil pastel with watercolour to create interesting textural effects by using it under washes. |
