SAKURACray-Pas Specialist Oil Pastel Set - Premium Quality Pigments, Wax & Oil - 25 Colors

Q: Are these pastels much better quality than the Sakura Expressionist Pastels?

The color selection is different and the pigment level is higher. Specialist also boasts square pastels, which can give you more flexibility than rounds and can give you an edge because they are square. As far as better quality, yes, but the expressionists are good too. They are round. I love this product. The colors are lush. at the present price of 50, you would normally pay about 75

Q: Do these pastels require fixative?

To fix or not to fix, that is the age old question… we all face at some time. Some say it darkens their work and ‘ruins’ it while others say you don’t need it. From my own experience it’s unwise not to fix soft pastels and potentially extreme to fix oil pastels. I’ve had a pastel work made in high school some odd.. let’s just say it would be an antique today, m’kay? It never smeared nor did it receive special treatment, wasn’t placed under glass, only framed with a wide mat around the outside. It hung on the back of a door for a long time that way and I believe with time it became part of the paper! It never faded either, but then it wasn’t exposed to intense window lighting. That said, if you create a true master piece (in yours or anyone’s opinion), it’s safest to place it under a UV resistant pane of glass and not mess with it further. I’ve heard there is a fixative which won’t darken pastel but can’t speak to this personally, so if you decide to use one there is another option if an exact color is important to you. Use lighter colors! Seems simple enough eh?

Q: What exactly is the extender? How is it used?

the extender allows for better coverage of the paper by smoothing down the previously applied layer. also good for blending a bit

Q: Are these oil pastels artist quality? Are they easy to use for portraits?

Yes and yes !! Light fast ratings are right there as well for high quality preservation. These are a wonderful, yet inexpensive oil pastel.
