Pastels: Oil
Oil pastels (also called wax oil crayons) are a painting and drawing medium with characteristics similar to pastels and wax crayons. Unlike "soft" or "French" pastel sticks, which are made with a gum or methyl cellulose binder, oil pastels consist of pigment mixed with a non-drying oil and wax binder. Oil pastels provide a harder edge than "soft" or "French" pastels and are best layered rather than blended. Caran d'Ache, introduced Neocolor wax crayons onto the market in 1965, using a patented polyethylene wax with superior lubrication and in the nineties these were developed into the oil pastel, Neopastel.
