Course/Kit: Creating Durable Fine Detail with Custom Oil Pastel Mediums

An artist in the discussion mentions using body oil to make oil pastel paint for fine details, noting that "Those fine lines are actually very fragile." This highlights a need for better methods or materials to improve the durability of such delicate work. An information resource, like a specialized guide, e-book, or online course, or a dedicated art supply kit could help solve this problem. These solutions would focus on providing or teaching the formulation of archival-quality mediums specifically designed for oil pastels to enhance fine line durability, or on detailing effective post-application treatments like specialized fixatives, appropriate curing methods, or other protective measures for delicate oil pastel applications.

Artists would be able to create fine, detailed work and explore unique textural effects in their oil pastel paintings with significantly improved permanence and structural integrity, ensuring better preservation of their art.
