Academy Oil Pastel Sets: 36-Color Tin Set
Ideal for bold and colorful drawings, these sets of easy-to-use oil pastels are a great introduction to the medium for intermediate artists. They have a creamy texture that blends well and colors that transfer to the paper quickly. They are dust-free and soluble in turpentine, which can be used to thin the pastels to create a beautiful translucent effect. They exhibit best results on a slightly textured paper. The 12-Color Set includes cadmium yellow, orange, deep red, purple, ultramarine, blue, dark green, light green, yellow ochre, terra-cotta, burnt umber and black. The 24-Color Set includes all the colors in the 12-Color Set plus acid yellow, scarlet, light pink, bright pink, dark blue, light blue, green, lime green, khaki, light brown, gray and white. The 36-Color Set includes all the colors in the 24-Color Set plus lemon yellow, light orange, tangerine, red, deep rose, fuchsia, lilac, light purple, bright blue, pale blue, olive green and sand.
