Oil Pastels and Oil Paint Stick Mini Art Haul-Let's Talk and Swatch

Oil pastels and oil sticks, let's talk about them, their uses, and swatch them out. They share similarities, yet differ from one another, by a lot.
I'm sharing my favorite oil pastel brands, which we'll discuss them as we swatch. Then I have a mini art haul with my new oil paint sticks that just arrived this week.
We'll also talk about sealing with fixatives, and varnishing best practices.
