Most of these are the large Sennelier oil pastels. I tear off the paper and wear nitrile gloves (from the hardware store) to protect my hands.<br /><br />I don't use any solvent, as a matter of self-protection. I am just figuring out that I can smear and manipulate these pastels with my fingers and hand, if I want.Jean Spitzerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13520415864511680025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5596223475426533484.post-48769227067816269302010-11-16T06:28:21.121-06:002010-11-16T06:28:21.121-06:00Denise, thanks.
