Water Soluble Oil Pastels - Pack 12

Micador Water Soluble Oil Pastels offer the same vibrant pigment and smooth application as traditional oil pastels, with the added versatility of water-solubility. These innovative pastels allow students to experiment with both dry and wet media, making them ideal for exploring a range of artistic techniques. Simply apply the pastels and then add water using a paintbrush or wet finger to achieve a beautiful watercolour effect. Each pastel is individually wrapped to help keep hands clean and the round shape makes them easy to grip for learners of all ages. Best used on watercolour paper for optimal effect.
