Oil Pastel
Oil pastels are a painting and drawing medium similar to both pastels and wax crayons.
Oil pastels come in stick form and are made by combining pigment with a binder mixture of non-drying oil and wax, distinguishing them from pastels that use a gum or methyl cellulose binder and wax crayons that lack oil. Oil pastel paintings have a less powdery surface compared to gum pastels but are more challenging to protect with a fixative. They are known for their vivid and bold colours and can be easily blended, although they are also prone to breakage.

Framing options vary for each piece and are listed on the individual artwork pages. All pieces are framed with 90% UV acrylic glass.
Yes, 100%. We work directly with our artists to create editions that accurately represent their body of work. Additionally, every artist personally reviews and approves their final editions.
Each edition comes with a numbered Certificate of Authenticity (COA) signed by the artist. Additionally every edition will be signed, marked, or numbered on the edition itself.
Works on paper and some originals don't come with a COA.
