Yep, it’s a chemical to use with good ventilation. I can’t use those, oils or acrylic without a mask. Odourless is the same. You can blend the pastels with a folded tissue, rubber-tipped tools, paper stumps or your fingers, maybe good to wear plastic or latex gloves to keep skin oils off the art.
Such a cute drawing/painting ! For a first time working with them it’s really good ! Your polychromos are also oil based so they work also in combination with the oil pastels and terpentine
I made the exact same mistake, so now I have a set of each. The oil pastels blend better than the aquarelle (if you aren't using water) and are less messy than the average oil pastel. I love using the aquarelles with water, though, so they are both useful products.
Oh no… you were looking for the neocolor 2 crayons. 😅all good!! A happy accident, Bring back the Oil Pastel, start a new trend!!

you can use odourless mineral spirit to blend them similarly how neocolor 2 blend with water.

I love it!!! Anytime I try oil pastels I create something that looks straight from the depths of hell.

You probably wanted the neocolor 2s. Not a problem though if you get some oil paint thinner, you can use the ones you got in the same way 🙂
I cannot stand oil or chalk pastels but I love neocolor 2s 😍 you did a great job with what you had to work with
Thanks! I think I’m gonna have to get the ones I meant to get !!
aww, that sucks- im glad you managed to have a bit of fun with them though :) what a cute cat! That's a nice looking sketchbook, where did you get it?
Watch Blackbean CMS, he is an AMAZING oil pastel artist and will definitely inspire you.
I love Christian! He does amazing things with pastels and paint.
Oh lovely I will check him out!
I actually have bought those on purpose and they are such a nice medium, much creamier than the neocolors.
I was wondering why you picked out those pastels I must admit 🤔 ah well I guess it's an opportunity to give oil pastels a go?
Whoa I just finished reading Picture This, it's sooooooo spooky! I totally love it!! ❤
Aww love to hear that!
