Frequently Asked Questions

Why are these oil pastels hexagonal?
The hexagonal shape prevents the pastels from rolling off surfaces, making them easier to control and store — especially useful in classroom and studio settings.

Which set size should I choose?
The 12-color set is great for beginners and kids. The 24 and 36-color sets suit hobbyists and illustrators wanting more range. The 48-color set is ideal for detailed, expressive work with a full spectrum of shades.

Can hexagon oil pastels be blended?
Yes — blend with your finger, a blending stump, or a soft cloth. A small amount of odorless mineral spirits can also be used for smoother transitions.

What surfaces work best?
Textured paper, pastel paper, canvas board, and card all work well. Smooth surfaces may not grip the pigment as effectively.
