History of Oil Pastels • Oil Pastel is a relatively new medium, considering that most have been around for centuries.In 1921, assisted and advised by artist and theorist Yamamoto, 2 brothers-in-law developed a high quality crayon, which combined the soft, smooth color application of crayon with the brightness of pastel.
Q. What are these pastels made of? • A. The same rich pigments as found in soft pastels. The big difference is that unlike the 'chalky' binders of soft pastels, oil pastels are bound with non-drying oils and waxes, giving them a much smoother and creamier feel and texture.
