As some of you know, I've been thinking of trying to learn to use these pastels here. They are nothing fancy, but I think it's best not to spend a lot until you learn if you like and are able to work well in any given medium.

I've been looking around for some tutorials with oil pastels and I've dug up quite a bit. Since I know Rene is looking to get into her set as well I thought I'd publish my links and maybe someone will find them to be of use.

Step by Step Oil Pastel Painting
Oil Pastel Tutorial From Beginning To End
Oil Pastel Tutorial (some blending tips) Click on image to enlarge for reading.
Blending and Yellows Oil Pastel Tutorial from Wet Canvas Forums
Oil Pastel Classrooms at Wet Canvas Forums
You Tube Oil Pastel For Beginners Demo (mostly blending, but still good)
FAQ's on Oil Pastels (some good info despite it being a FAQ)
Another FAQ page on Oil Pastels
How To Use Oil Pastels (Short but still pretty good.)
How To Use Oil Pastels (Has a tip for blending them as though they were paint)
Drawing With Oil Pastels

Those are the best ones I was able to find. Hopefully they will be useful. Also, if anyone has any that are good and not here please do share the sites. :)
