    i am not aguring with you but oil pastels will fade to white in about 3 months. i used them in my toy days and then i progressed to the markal. the markal is 8x better and it dries hard unlike the pastel which stays soft and gummy

    sek those things streaks on arprimo are not markals
    a markal is a specific brand paintstick that has a cardboard cover surrounding it like seen in this photo

    the streaks that u have to turn get all gummy and shitty and are not worth the 6 bucks compared to a one dollar markal which is 6 times better

    if you want markal lumber crayons which are better for rough surfeces look at artprimo.. if you want the paintsticks which are kinda like streaks and more ideal for smoother surfaces, you have to get those at the markal website.. i dont know of any stores that carry them, but then again, im in the states...,

    i think i might've heard of them somewhere. . . haha of course man. but ya the markal site has a shitload of cool stuff.they got osme cattle markers that look pretty sweet. . . they look like a big scrawl pen. and they got some paintsticks that bleed through water or oil based paint.
