About this category
In a nutshell

Oil pastels are an ideal choice if you're looking for rich colors with a buttery consistency. Unlike soft pastels, they don't produce dust and don't need fixative. They adhere very well to both paper and canvas, and are easy to layer and blend. For your art projects, we recommend choosing quality brands such as Daler-Rowney or Van Gogh, which ensure great pigmentation and an enjoyable creative experience.

Oil Pastels – Rich Colors With a Creamy Texture

Oil pastels are a creative medium that combines the intensity of oil paints with the simplicity of drawing. They have a creamy texture, vibrant colors, and can be applied directly to paper without a brush or thinner. At ARTMiE, you'll find oil pastels from Sakura, Sennelier, KREUL, and Faber-Castell.

How Are Oil Pastels Different From Soft Pastels?

  • Oil pastels – creamy and rich, they don't make a mess and can't be blended with a finger. Ideal for expressive drawing and impasto effects
  • Soft pastels – powdery, blendable, and create softer transitions. Ideal for portraits and landscapes

Who Are Oil Pastels For?

Everyone, from children (safe and clean) to professionals (Sennelier artist grade). They're great for sketching, illustrations, and abstract works.

Textured paper with a weight of 160–250 g/m². Smooth paper works too, but a rougher surface holds the pigment better.
