• Find the Best Oil Pastels for Landscapes, Still Lifes, and Portraits

  01-05-2020 22:06 via artnews.com
  
  Made from pigment mixed with nondrying oil and a wax binder, the first oil pastels were invented by the Osaka-based company Sakura in 1924 for use in Japanese schools. While oil pastels never caught on with Japan’s educators, they interested artists—including Pablo Picasso, who collaborated with the French manufacturer of art supplies Sennelier to develop a higher-quality version of Sakura’s product. Sennelier’s launch of their oil pastel in 1949 was followed Holbein&rsqu

• Move Beyond the Blackboard with these Quality Liquid Chalk Markers

  01-05-2020 21:20 via artnews.com
