Questions painters ask

Soft pastel or oil pastel? Soft pastel gives a chalky, luminous finish on sanded paper and layers beautifully. Oil pastel is creamier, doesn't dust, and is easier to keep tidy in the field.

When will my kit ship? The kit ships in April 2027. Add Ship My Supplies Now (US only) to get the pastels and paper within two weeks.
