what is the best oil paints and pastels?

Answer 1

Best in terms of quality? The more you pay, the better quality the product will be. Cheap products give the appropriate results - the main difference in the quality vs price ratio is - you pay more for a heavier pigment load and less filler.

All painters have their favourite oil paint brands. The best in terms of pigment load are Old Holland, Lefranc & Bourgeois,Talens (Rembrandt), Gamblin, Lukas Sortie 1, Winsor & Newton Artist, Schmincke, Grumbacher pre-tested, M. Graham (in close to that order) and a few more I can't recall them all. Some are stiffer-bodied, some are creamier, you really have to try each brand to choose a favourite. They can all be intermixed.

As for Oil pastels, there are only 2 brands on the market that are truly artist quality, those are extremely buttery - Sennellier and Holbein. Oil pastels never dry and must be framed behind glass with an air space.

Soft pastels such as Rembrandt, Sennellier, Schmincke, Unison, Holbein and a few others use artist grade pigments and less filler (generally gum arabic). Student grade pastels (Mungyo, Faber, NuPastel etc) use higher ratios of gypsum (chalk) and less or inferior pigment.

Prices may seem criminal, but you generally get what you pay for. Most brands have both Artist and Student grade products, so don't be fooled by the name. Test before you invest - get a couple of this brand and some of that instead of buying a whole set straight off, and see which you like best.

Oil pastels and oil paints are two completely different mediums. You can get the same results with either medium--blending or mixing of color. Its up to the artist which one he or she prefers.One is using the "wet -into-wet" technique and the other , the materials themselves create the effects. Oil pastels when dry are supposed to be pernament but, more than likely, the oil paint would last longer.
