Sennelier oil pastels are opaque and soft. They do not mix all that well with other brands of oil pastel because they are more potent than most and will cover marks made by other brands rather than lay on top or mix when applied. They are, however, perfect when you want to cover up a mistake or if you work on colored papers or boards. Most brands of oil pastel are more translucent, which makes them less effective when you work on colored supports. This is especially true for the yellows and other light colors--the color of the paper will show through. The only important warning is to keep them covered and in their box, so they do not dry out. They become rubbery when they get older and drier which makes it hard to get them to adhere to your paper or to be precise when making a mark. This will only happen if you leave them out for a long time. They are the oil pastels that operate the most like oil paint and which look the most like paint once you are finished with a project. If you want to use paint thinner with them you can also liquify your marks and use a brush to move the color around like paint on canvas. They are soft enough to roll onto paper or canvas like lipstick. They hold up over time if kept clean and covered and do not flake as much as some other brands do. I highly recommend them.Read full review
