Oil Pastel is a very attractive painting tool. Oil Pastel can have rich colors, delicate expressions, and passionate brushstrokes. It is not as "pediatric" as everyone thinks. Oil Pastel is softer than crayons, the color is more colorful, and it is easy to color. Crayons look harder and brighter.

For those who are not studying fine art, Oil Pastel is a relatively uncommon painting tool. Many people mistakenly believe that Oil Pastel is only for children, and there are few Oil Pastel works that we usually see, so many people don't know the charm of Oil Pastel very much.

In some countries, Oil Pastel has long become a common tool for painting enthusiasts, used for color sketching or on-site copying when going out.

You can directly use the edge of the Oil Pastel pen to draw lines. Such lines are not necessarily uniform, but very natural and smooth. Pay attention to keeping the strength consistent when drawing lines.

Flat coating is to apply specific color blocks evenly on the drawing paper. To achieve better results, one is to outline the edge in advance and then fill in the color inside to avoid painting the edge; the other is to paint in a specific direction, the effect will be more uniform and beautiful.

Gradient refers to the transition from one color to another in coloring. Due to the special thick texture of Oil Pastel, gradient is one of the most commonly used and most prominent techniques in the advanced techniques of Oil Pastel. The effect is to avoid strong changes in color transitions, making color transitions more natural and creating a three-dimensional effect. Note that the gradient is usually suitable for the dampening of a single color or the gradient of similar colors, not for the gradient between two colors with obvious contrast.

Color mixing refers to the use of multiple colors after repeated rubbing to achieve mixing, making the color blocks show a more soft and hazy rich effect. In addition to mixing colors with Oil Pastel itself, you need to use other color mixing tools, such as color mixing sticks, if necessary. The matching of mixed colors should also follow the principle of mixing of similar or similar colors and avoiding contrasting colors.

Point color refers to arranging dots or short lines of different colors together. Pointing can be used to express colorful and dynamic effects, such as flowers, feathers, grass, etc. In the order of color stippling, follow the principle of light color first and dark color.

Overlapping refers to overlaying another layer of Oil Pastel color on a layer of color block that has already been applied. The performance characteristic is that it is not pure color mixing or covering, but one color reveals another color in order to achieve the effect of rich layers. The combination of overlapping colors should also follow the principle that the same or similar colors can be mixed and avoid contrasting colors.
