Inscribe Gallery Oil Pastels, a pack of 48 assorted colours, are the UK's biggest selling oil pastels, enjoyed by artists of all abilities. Each oil pastel has high pigment content for brilliant colours and a creamy consistency for easy application and blending. The density of colour is determined by how lightly or heavily the artist applies the pastel to the paper. Oil pastels can be applied straight from the stick, or they can be blended together to create new colours and tones. It is possible to use the length of the pastel stick to create broad slabs of colour, or the tip, to draw as you would with a pencil. The manufacturer is Inscribe.
