Is this the best tool for “poor quality” oil pastels?

Hi everyone! This week, I have decided to give another try to my “poor quality” oil pastels. A few months ago, I have bought a pack of 36 oil pastels from Jaxon. I have found these oil pastels hard to layer and not so nice to use… In this video, I give them another try, looking for ways to work with their limitations! And a palette knife comes in very handy 😉
The painting took be about 20 minutes to complete.
