Prima Art Philosophy Water Soluble Oil Pastels 12/Pkg

Prima Art Philosophy Water Soluble Oil Pastels are highly pigmented, creamy art pastels that combine the rich, opaque look of traditional oil pastels with the blendability and versatility of watercolors.

Key Features

• Dual Medium: Use them dry like traditional oil pastels or activate them with water for a soft watercolor effect.
• Permanent When Dry: Once the water-activated pigment dries, it becomes permanent, allowing you to layer more colors on top without lifting the base layer.
• Versatile Application: Excellent for coloring line art, mixed media projects, scrapbooking, and watercolor paper.
• User-Friendly: Non-toxic and conform to ASTM D 4236 safety standards.

How to Use

• Dry Application: Apply directly to paper and blend using your fingers, a cotton swab, or a paper stump.
• Wet Application: Lay down the pigment and brush over it with a wet paintbrush or water brush to blend the colors together seamlessly.
• Palette Method: Pick up the pigment directly from the pastel stick with a damp brush to use it like traditional watercolor paint.
