Oil pastels wil say oilpastels on the package and Chalk type pastels usually say soft pastels I personaly havent seen them labeled chalk pastels I got mine years ago so not sure if they label them as so. im sure the soft pastels are what the guys are refering to. Hpoe this helps
You can also fine them in pencil form from companies like Dewent. The oil pastels are waxy while the ‘dry’ or ‘chalk’ type are powdery and can be scraped or ground for dust.
www.micromark.com has pastels.
Pastels chalk is like oil pastels in color packaging etc, but we use it for dirt dust exhaust etc
Just to make sure you’re not confused by this statement … pastel chalks come in much the same kind of packaging as oil pastels. If you have a Michael’s or any other arts & crafts stores near you, that’s the best place to look for them. I use a set from a company named Carre and purchased them at Michael’s.
Just make sure you don’t get oil pastels !!!
They don’t work very well at all.
I picked up a couple of sets of pastel chalks, one is a range from white to black, with shades of grey between, the other was a lot of browns, reddish-oranges and the like. I think I got them either at Michaels or the base craft store on Kadena…I don’t recall for sure. I just need to get up the nerve to really try them out on a kit. Weathering is one thing I really want to master.
Pastel Chalk = Gods Greatest Gift to Detailing… Enjoy!!!
Well…That and Watercolors…
