Van Gogh - Superfine Oil Pastels Sets
Work on paper, wood, or earthenware with intensely pigmented pastels
Oil pastels that work beyond paper expand your material possibilities considerably. Van Gogh Superfine Oil Pastels adhere to wood, earthenware, and board surfaces where standard pastels struggle or fail entirely. The soft, creamy consistency delivers intense color without requiring excessive pressure, making them ideal for spontaneous, expressive mark-making where immediacy matters more than precision.
Each 2¾-inch stick maintains its intensity throughout the barrel, no fading as you work through the pastel. The formulation balances softness with structural integrity; they're pleasant to handle and apply without becoming mushy or breaking under normal pressure. Colors layer and blend directly on the surface, building up rich, painterly effects or remaining distinct for linear work.
The 12-color set provides essential primaries, earth tones, and neutrals for fundamental color mixing and quick studies. The 24-color set extends into secondary hues and expanded greens and blues, reducing mixing needs when working quickly or covering larger areas. Both sets include the warm and cool versions of primary colors that enable proper color temperature control. These pastels suit artists who want the immediacy of drawing combined with oil paint's richness, whether sketching outdoors, developing compositional studies, or working on unconventional surfaces that demand flexible media.
