Created in the 1940's in collaboration with Pablo Picasso, these creamy,
lipstick-like pastels are rich in pigment, cover well and have
outstanding opacity and lightfastness. They may be thinned with
turpentine and worked with a brush, are acid-free and can be applied to
any surface. They are made with top quality pigments, an extremely pure
synthetic binding medium and mineral wax. The pigments are ground with
an inert, non-siccative binding medium that does not oxidize, ensuring
stability of film and surface. The balance of this mix results in a
creamy texture that invites broad strokes and freedom of expression. The
high pigment content results in high coloring and covering potential
and excellent brightness. The "Grand" Oil Pastel is the equivalent of
eight regular size sticks, measuring .75" by 5". This set includes 36
carefully selected colors to offer a broad range.
