How to use chalk pastels

Everything you need to know to get started using oil pastels.

The colour pay off and resistance you get from oils is fun and powerful whilst chalks can be soft, beautifully layered and easily manipulated with water or ink.

Artist Julia Cusworth plays with colour pay off, layering, smudging, and mixing chalk pastels with water.
