Originals in this selection, Oil pastels, 1,000 to 2,000 euro.
Formats from 80 x 60 to 100 x 100 cm.
Confident handling of the material
Oil pastel from 1,000 to 2,000 euro stands for pictures that show experience with the material. Paintings with oil pastel in this price tier are for sale here, with gestural swing as well as concentrated color.
In fully worked oil pastel pictures, several layers lie on top of each other, partly scratched, partly smeared. The wax provides a light sheen that makes colors look denser. Experienced artists use the warmth of the hand to melt and spread chalk.

What to expect in the tier
With originals, larger formats and clear artistic positions are common here. On the technical side, acrylic and acrylic on canvas come up. The description should name support, ground and any fixing.
Place and care
Large oil pastel pictures belong under glass or acrylic glass with spacing. Hang them away from heat sources, where they are safe from fingerprints. Light from the side lifts the relief of the strokes without warming the surface too much.
