You can create fine lines with oil pastels by using a tool (also known as a blending stump or tortillon) either alone or after blending, and then "painting" fine details with it.
Here's a breakdown of the method described:
- Blending/Applying Pastel: Apply the oil pastel to the desired area.
- Using a Blending Tool: Use a blending stump (tortillon) to pick up some of the pastel.
- Applying Fine Lines: Use the tip of the blending stump, now loaded with pastel, to create fine lines and details. The amount of pressure you apply will affect the thickness of the line.
This technique allows for controlled application and thinner lines than directly using the oil pastel stick.
