How to Use Signature Oil Pastels 12pc

1. Choose your surface. Use thick paper, card, or a prepared canvas board to avoid tearing.

2. Apply pastel directly. Stroke or press gently for rich color; press harder for more saturation.

3. Blend colors. Use fingers, blending stumps, cloth, or a dry brush to soften edges or merge hues.

4. Layer for depth. Add a second or third layer to deepen color or create rich shadows.

5. Try texture techniques. Draw lines or scratch into layered pigment with a sharp tool for sgraffito effects.

6. Optional glazing. Apply tiny amounts of oil medium or mild solvent to soften or smooth a section for a subtle shine.

7. Fix and protect. Once finished, keep artwork under glass or use a fixative designed for oil pastels, if desired, to prevent smudging.

Your DIY Creative Mixing Guide

Use the 12 colors to make more tones and add realism:

1. Warm to cool blends: mix warms with cools to soften and create neutral midtones—ideal for skin or landscape shadows.

2. Color accents: layer a bright color over a muted base to pick out focal areas or highlights.

3. Shadow tones: blend a dark color with a bit of a complementary hue to avoid flat black shadows.

4. Pastel tints: add a touch of white to lighten and soften any color for highlights or sky effects.

5. Rich earth tones: mix browns with greens or reds to create natural, organic shades for trees, soil, or wood.

6. Subtle texture: layer a lighter color over a textured or rough area, then scratch through to reveal the darker layer for lively texture.

These mixes help you go far beyond the original twelve sticks—producing dozens of unique shades in one small pack.
