The inclusion of fossil oil pastels e'er surprises me since fossil oil pastels never actually dry out due to the role of a non-drying binder! H5N1 lot of artists also role solvents when working alongside them.

If the novel watercolour sticks or the fine art marking sticks were called "pastels" would that hateful that they likewise became eligible media?
