Holbein Artists' Oil Pastels have a unique formulation which makes them move and feel like a soft pastel but without the dust. Endorsed by the Oil Pastel Association of America, these high quality artist pastels are the result of over 75 years of research.
The range offers a wide spectrum of rich colours with a high pigment load, and these oil pastels handle beautifully, with excellent layering and blending capacity. Their square shape allows for intricate detail and clean, sharp lines.
Holbein oil pastels can be applied to almost any ground. They can also be used over finished acrylic and oil paintings and in conjunction with a variety of wet and dry media. Due to the paraffin content and highly refined mineral oil, they will never harden completely. Unlike oil pastels that use vegetable oil, Holbein oil pastels are inert once laid down and will not dry out or crack.
