Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Are these pastels safe for children?
Yes, KOH-I-NOOR products meet safety standards; however, due to small parts (possibility of breakage), they are recommended for school-age children and older.
Does the drawing need to be fixed with varnish?
Oil pastels dry slowly and do not crumble like dry pastels, so a fixative is not mandatory. However, it is recommended to keep finished work under glass or use a special varnish for dust protection.
