The technique of oil pastel is a fairly recent history, his arrival in the nineteen fifties when his ancestor painting encaustic dates back to two thousand years.
Indeed, painting with wax or polish known since ancient Greek would they be the ancestors of this technique? There are a few examples from the representations funeral, which was discovered by Champollion. These Egyptian paintings dating from the Roman occupation, are known from
"Fayoum Portraits". Reached until today these paintings are in a surprising state of preservation.
One can say that oil pastels or oil pastels as we know them today date back to the beginning of the first half of the twentieth century.
can be seen that the conté, the Waxed-sticks or crayons to the wax produced in the United States is the origin of these oil pastels or oil we use today .
In 1925, the company Sakura in Japan, will be inspired and make the first pastels sold under the name of "Cray-Pas." In 1930, the company also Talens, will manufacture pastel, sold under the name "Panda" in Holland until 1982.
Gradually, artists will start looking at this material, although at first it was rather to produce these sticks for kids. In 1949, Henri Goetz, a friend of Picasso asked Henri Sennelier to create a range of oil pastels, fatter and smoother than the "cray-pas," to use more professional. At the same time, Picasso wanted to paint in motion and without constraint in the continuity of the hand, he was looking for a material allowing it to overcome the constraints of oil painting. Thus developed the pastel or oil pastel, and many manufacturers of materials for the arts even today, continue to make improvements to this little stick.
